UIFL Announce Weekly Honors

Published on April 23, 2012 under Ultimate Indoor Football League (UIFL) News Release

FT. MYERS, FL - The UIFL has announced its weekly honor roll for the week ending April 23, 2012.

Due to the schedule, the north and south are combined this week. Coming off a convincing victory over Erie, the Cincinnati Commandos have two players honored, while another Marion kicker brings home the other award.

Quarterback Tyler Sheehan was named the Conquest Cards Offensive Player of the Week, while defensive lineman James Spikes is the All-Star PR Cincinnati Defensive Player of the Week.

Sheehan outdueled Erie signal caller A.J. McKenna in leading the Commandos to the 55-34 victory. He finished the game 21-of-44 for 359 yards passing, seven touchdowns and three picks. Two of his touchdowns came on fourth down in the fourth quarter as the Explosion was looking to mount a comeback.

Spikes, along with the rest of the defensive line, was a disruptive force all game long. He recorded eight tackles with 4.5 sacks and five tackles for loss. The Erie offensive line came into the game allowing just nine sacks all season long.

Marion's Boo Jackson was named the Trophy Awards Special Teams Player of the Week after converting 5 of 6 on his extra points.
