In the interest of memorializing the 10-1 Ships' season, the editorial board voted to do one last post. These are the final and official statistics of the 2011 season based on Coach Dixon's stats from his binder. I made only one correction (Nick did not throw 2 TD passes this year) and I recognize the stats for receiving TDs do not work out. If you know who had the missing TD(s), let me know. Also, I think the "special forces" tackles are not included in the official stats. If I can confirm that, I'll add them in, as there is no reason for me to keep them separate (I'm leaving them out for now). Thank-you, again, gentlemen.
