Ethenic Sands To Return To Florida Firecats

Estero, FL-The Florida Firecats have announced the addition of Ethenic Sands.

2008 will be Sands' fourth season with the Firecats. Last season, he finished second on the team in Receptions (98), Receiving Yards (1,196) and Receiving Touchdowns (24). Sands also spent some time on the defensive side of the ball, recovering two fumbles and returning one 25 yards for a touchdown.

The former Miami Hurricane had a couple of workouts with other leagues, but when nothing worked out, he decided to return to the Firecats.
The addition of Sands gives the already potent Firecats offense another weapon. Four different 'Cats receivers caught touchdowns in the team's week one 56-14 victory over the Texas Copperheads.

"Ethenic has been one of our all-around best receivers the last few seasons," Firecats Head Coach Kevin Bouis said Thursday. "We are excited to have him back and he is ready to go."
