Arizona Rattlers News Release


Phoenix, AZ - Hunkie Cooper (5-9, 190, UNLV) was named the US Army Ironman of the Week by the Arena Football League today. Cooper earned the award thanks to his three touchdown performance Sunday against the New York Dragons.

During Sunday's 53-41 victory, Cooper caught four passes for 42 yards and a touchdown, rushed for two touchdowns, and picked off an Aaron Garcia pass. Cooper is also closing in on 20, 000 career all-purpose yards. He needs only 170 yards to become the second man in AFL history to hit that milestone, joining George LaFrance.

Cooper won the Ironman of the Week award twice in 2003. He won following a Week Three win over Indiana, and following the second round playoff victory over Los Angeles.

Arizona takes on the Columbus Destroyers on Friday night at America West Arena. Kickoff in the Snake Pit is set for 7:00 PM. Tickets are available by calling 480-684-4444 or by logging on to ticketmaster.com. For more information on the Rattlers, log on to www.AZRattlers.com.
