Class D-1 (8-Man) Playoffs Team by Team Individual Statistical Leaders

Being the statistical nut that I have always been, it was always a kick to see these team-by-team leaders once the postseason rolled around, especially in the 8-Man ranks.

We’ll look at Class D1 first. There are some teams that did not report this information, so that, unfortunately, will be available at this time.

One thing new this season is the inclusion of the combined records of the opponents each of these teams have faced this season. Although the individual football programs have no control over who they play during the regular season (NSAA does the scheduling), it is still an indication of Strength of Schedule.
