www.marionstar.com/article/20110803/SPORTS/108030301/-T-Mac-returning-MarionMARION - The Marion Blue Racers indoor football team has signed a familiar face for the 2012 season.
Former Blue Racer defender Thomas McKenzie, a fan favorite during his previous playing career in Marion, re-signed with the local squad following its combine on Saturday.
A Marion native, McKenzie played with the Northern Kentucky entry in the Ultimate Indoor Football League this past season and helped that team to the league's regular-season championship.
"T-Mac" was the UIFL's defensive player of the year after pacing the league with 15.5 quarterback sacks and 17 tackles for losses.
While with Marion when it was a member of the Continental Indoor Football League, McKenzie set a single-game sack record with 5.5.
"I believe this is a great acquisition for our team, and the city gets its favorite player back," said Blue Racers owner LaMonte Coleman.
Marion will be an expansion team for the 2012 season in the UIFL.
