Jeriesha Hodge and Tara Stephenson win 2009 Pigskin Award

Past winners include Wilkinson, Hamlin, Lucas, Tillman, Pecovsky, Williams, Hemlock, McNair and Matthews

Congratulations to Jeriesha Hodge and Tara Stephenson for winning the Pigskin Club award for offensive and defensive players of the year. Hodge and Stephenson also won the Divas team MVP awards this season.

The Pigskin Club of Washington is celebrating it's 72nd year in 2010 and the Divas are proud to be the first women to be recognized by the club for their achievements on the field. Lucille Hester, now the first female president in the club's history, said "it's wonderful to see the recognition for these outstanding women."

Kudos to Redskins GM Bruce Allen who thoroughly enjoyed his visit with the Divas guest table. After Allen heard of the Divas 2009 Eastern Conference Championship and Super Bowl trip to Austin he remarked, "we want to put ourselves in that position."

Since 2003 the Pigskin Club has choosen a female player of the year with Donna "The Animal" Wilkinson being the first recipient. QB Allyson Hamlin won in 2004, DB Vickie Lucas in 2005, "Poison" Ivy Tillman and Rachelle Pecovsky in 2006 (when the club began to recognize an offensive and defensive winner), WR Nikki Williams and DB Kathryn Hemlock in 2007 and Defensive Lineman Trigger McNair and Running Back Tiffany "Spaceghost" Matthews in 2008.
