SADLER NAMED TO DAKTRONICS NORTHWEST REGION FIRST TEAM
Wildcats' Senior Punter Led North Central Conference in Punting Average

VERMILLION, S.D. - Central Washington University senior punter Coby Sadler (Ellensburg) has been selected to the Daktronics Division II All-Northwest Region team, announced Tuesday.

Sadler finished his senior campaign leading the North Central Conference in punting average, totaling 39.9 yards per punt on 50 punts. He ranked among the top two punters in the NCC each week throughout the season, and was also among the best in Division II on a weekly basis in 2006.

Sadler, who finished his career at CWU as the number two punter in school history (behind former teammate Joe Smith), was the NCC Special Teams Player of the Week on Oct. 9 after pinning South Dakota at its own one-yard line on consecutive fourth-quarter punts in a 10-7 loss to the nationally-ranked Coyotes.

Sadler was the only CWU player selected to either the Daktronics first or second team. As a result of his selection to the first team, he automatically advances to the Daktronics Division II national ballot for possible All-American status.

Central Washington finished 6-5 overall and 3-5 in North Central Conference play in its first year as an affiliate member of the conference in 2006. The Wildcats will lose 17 seniors, including Sadler, to graduation.
