Football's Hoke Named Big South Special Teams Player of the Week

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Coastal Carolina kicker Josh Hoke (Statesville, N.C./West Iredell) was selected as Special Teams Player of the Week for games played during Week 10 (Nov. 4) of the 2006 season, it was announced today by the Conference office. This is the first time this season and ninth time in his career that Hoke has earned the league's weekly honor.   Hoke tallied 12 points kicking in Coastal’s 66-6 win over Savannah State. He was 9-9 on PAT kicking, tying the Big South single-game record for PATs made, attempted and percentage (100.0).  It was his second 10-point game of the season and ninth of his career.  Hoke also became the first kicker in Big South history to make nine PATs in a game twice in his career.   Coastal returns to Big South Conference action next week, traveling to Boiling Springs, N.C., to take on Gardner-Webb, Nov. 11, at 1:30 p.m. The game will be televised on SportSouth as part of the Big South's television package and will be televised locally on HTC Channel 66.
