Former Demon Tommy Hebert receives SIFL honors

Former Northwestern State kicker Tommy Hebert of the Louisiana Swashbucklers was recently named the 2009 Southern Indoor Football League's Special Teams Co-Player of the Year.

He shared the honor with kick returner Darrick Wallace of the Austin Turfcats.

Voting was conducted among SIFL coaches, team front offices, league staff and a composite fan vote. Teams were not allowed to vote for their own players.

Hebert received 12 out of a possible 13 votes among kickers, and won the fan balloting with 51 percent of the vote.

Hebert, who led the SIFL scorers with 115 points, converted 93.3 percent of his PAT attempts, second only to Nathan Parseghian of Billings in the Indoor Football League, who was 49 of 50 in six games. Hebert also had a SIFL high 15 field goals and FG percentage conversion rate of 48.4 percent.

Hebert has helped guide the Swashbucklers to a 10-1 record this season and will face the Turfcats in the inaugural SIFL championship game on Monday, July 27, in Lake Charles.
