Sylvester Bembery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sylvester Bemery is a former Arena Football League Lineman. Bemery, #78, was an OL/DL for the Tampa Bay Storm from 1994-1999, and once again joined the Storm for the 2001 campaign.

Known as one of the Storm's greatest pass rushers, a 6-time All Arena selection, Sylvester won 2 ArenaBowl Championships with the Storm. In 2001 he helped the Storm win 7 straight games ending with a 58-51 OT win over Carolina. This was the longest streak the Storm put together since Bemery helped them win 9 straight games in 1998, and the longest Tampa Bay winning streak since when he contributed to 8 game streak they tore through to begin the 1996 season.

In 2002 his jersey was retired by Tampa Bay at The St. Pete Times Forum.
