*NOTES:
All statistical numbers prior to 2008 were obtained from
the Cumberland Times-News archives. On some years the touchdown
totals were not listed in print as reflected with a ?? in
the total box.
Prior to 1967, passing statistics were rarely ever published.
Although it's unlikely any of those passing numbers surpassed
those listed here based on the (lack of) use of the passing
game during the early Fort Hill years back to 1936. If that
data becomes available for any given year those statistics
will be included. |
