OHIO HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
NEWS RELEASE
(November 13, 2000)
STATE FOOTBALL STATISTICAL LEADERS
NOTE: The Ohio High School
Athletic Association has compiled the individual state statistical leaders in football for
the 2000 regular season. Because not all areas of the state responded to the OHSAA’s
request for statistical information, the following lists of top scorers, rushers, passers
and receivers should be noted as “unofficial leaders.”
Special thanks to the following media
outlets that provided all of the statistics: Ashtabula Star Beacon, Athens Messenger,
Bowling Green Sentinel-Tribune, Bryan Times, Canton Repository, Cincinnati Enquirer,
Cleveland Plain Dealer, Columbus Dispatch, Dayton Daily News, Delphos Herald, Elyria
Chronicle-Telegram, Findlay Courier, Hamilton Journal-News, Lima News, Mansfield News
Journal, Minerva News Leader, Mount Gilead Morrow County Sentinel, New Philadelphia
Times-Reporter, Plymouth Advertiser, Norwalk Reflector, Piqua Daily Call, Portsmouth Daily
Times, Willoughby News-Herald, Wooster Daily Record, Youngstown Vindicator, Zanesville
Times-Recorder.
