Jon Shoemaker led the offense with 1117 yards passing and 258 yards rushing. MVP Tim Swaisgood was the leading receiver with 26 catches for 386 yards. Marc Rankin was the leading tackler (111 tackles) and the top rusher (508 yards). The most outstanding linemen were Brian Blessing and Ken Jennings on offense and Paul Sauder on defense. The backfield awards went to Jon Shoemaker, Mark McQuate and Marc Rankin.
