Austin Turfcats News Release
LAFAYETTE, La. (May 11, 2009) -- The Acadiana Mudbugs have fought their way to becoming 3-0, but now it is time for the fans to help out the Mudbug players get their due recognition.
The Southern Indoor Football League lets its fans vote for its Player of the Week Award. Two weeks ago, the Austin Turfcats pulled out every trick in the book to get defensive line Kevin Earvine the nod over Louisiana's Freddie Harrison, a quarterback who threw six touchdown passes.
This week, two Mudcats - Kimmee Lewis and Johnny Williams - are pitted against Austin's JR Turner and Darrick Wallace for the award. Each SIFL game names four MVPs with two of those selected to being the running for the league-wide nomination.
``Austin's GM [Ron Oswalt] did everything short of stuffing the ballot box, and, frankly, I don't like losing to him,'' said Mudbugs Communication Coordinator Lexie Iskander. ``Really, this about our players being recognized for their accomplishment and all of Acadiana can come together on this.
``This is our first chance and best chance to show who has the best fans,'' Iskander said. ``Just log onto southernifl.com and vote. Winning games isn't everything ... sometimes.''
