Carolina Cobras News Release
CHARLOTTE Â The Carolina Cobras of the Arena Football League, in partnership with News 14 Carolina, The Charlotte Observer and Charlotte.com, presented Johntae Woods of Hunter Huss High School in Gastonia with this week's Cobras Ironman Award.
The running back/free safety compiled 323 yards of total offense, and broke up two passes from his starting defensive position, as the Huskies rolled to a 47-13 victory over Garinger on September 29. Woods recorded 23 carries for 208 yards and three total touchdowns, while also returning one kickoff for 61 yards.
The senior threw a 54-yard touchdown pass to begin the scoring for Hunter Huss, and later finished the first half with two consecutive touchdown runs to give the Huskies a comfortable 34-6 lead heading into the locker room. Hunter Huss is now 2-0 to begin the 2003 campaign.
The Cobras Ironman Award provides local coaches and athletic directors the opportunity to reward those players that display the ability to play both offense and defense. These skills are reflective of the players in the AFL, where the majority of the athletes are two-way performers.
Athletes are nominated for the award by their respective schools based on their weekly performance. Winners are recognized with a plaque presentation at their school featuring News 14 Carolina sports director Mike Solarte and Cobras wide receiver/defensive back Jamaal Garman. The presentation is featured on Sports Night on News 14 Carolina each Wednesday, as well as in the Friday edition of The Charlotte Observer.
The Cobras will begin their fifth season in the Arena Football League when the 2004 campaign kicks off the weekend of February 6-8. Season tickets are on sale now and start as low as $64 per seat. For more information, call 877-4-COBRAS or visit www.cobrasfootball.com.
