Carolina Cobras News Release
CHARLOTTE - The Carolina Cobras of the Arena Football League, in partnership with News 14 Carolina, The Charlotte Observer and Charlotte.com, announced Nick Starcevic of Charlotte Catholic High School has been presented with this week's Cobras Ironman Award.
The junior scored two touchdowns as part of a strong all-around performance as the Cougars easily defeated West Montgomery 43-14 on September 19. The Charlotte Catholic standout rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown, along with a 15-yard reception, from the fullback position, while also posting eight tackles, a sack and a 32-yard interception return for a touchdown on defense. Starcevic added to his impressive outing with two blocked punts on special teams, one of which resulted in a safety.
The victory improved Charlotte Catholic's record to 4-1 on the year. Starcevic will next take the field on Friday, September 26 when the Cougars host West Stanly.
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.
