Spoken by someone who clearly has no idea what I've done over the years.
Sonny, I was responsible for the keeping of and reporting stats when you were still in diapers 😂 (Just kidding)
I'm trying to figure out why you assumed I had never done something that you have done, just because you think it's difficult? That doesn't make sense. And how are you so sure that it's "clear" to you that I had never reported stats? Because I think it's easy? Confusing. I think doing backflips is hard. But just because I think it's hard doesn't mean it's hard for everyone
KEEPING stats and REPORTING stats are 2 different things. One is much easier than the other, but they are both easier now than they have ever been.
Keeping stats is so much easier to do these days than it was 10-15 years ago. Obviously you are looking at it from the perspective of someone who is trying to keep stats AND announce a game (I assume so based on your mentioning of the radio team), which I absolutely agree would be difficult, especially when you are using the old way of pen and paper.
Can I point you in the direction of some technological advancements that have made the keeping of stats so much easier, such as Daktronics, Turbostats, Teamsnap, Hudl, etc? People actually take advantage of these programs coupled with devices such as laptops and tablets....so much easier than the old pen and paper way... 
And the reporting of stats is so much simpler now that in years past. At one time, believe it or not, a person had to take their stats that they had recorded on paper and use a facsimile machine, or a telephone, to send their stats in. Now, one click sends your software's stat sheet to multiple news outlets at once... easy to do. Much easier to do than it used to be.... but you say it's hard? Maybe for a radio guy trying to do multiple things with little or no help, but not for a statistician.
And you say the teams don't have people keeping their own stats... why is that? They have for years and years. What changed? 
And don't assume I blame this on the newspaper staff.... maybe the issue is with these teams that you know of who "are not keeping their own stats and reporting them"? Why wouldn't they be reporting them? What is more difficult now than 20 years ago?
Let's say that all the stats are getting reported by every team, what has changed for these newspapers that the collection and reporting of these stats on a weekly basis is too hard now, but wasn't so hard 15 years ago? Staffing issues?

The good old days. Not hard to do, but people are lazy these days. And probably don't want to "hurt feelings" by posting stats....

Too little too late. This could have happened months ago.
 
On a side note... the VHSL also decided to NOT have ALL State voting this year for football, which is an utter travesty.

Remember when the local papers had detailed rushing, passing, scoring and defensive stats for individual players as well as teams? 🤔

What an utter shame!!!!!  Penalize the programs that made it happen for the kids under the falsehood of "fair". 

The justification is nonsense as well.... "Some schools didn't play....so we won't do All-State because it wouldn't be fair...."
Why are our kids held hostage by decisions made in haste in other areas of the state? We braved the pandemic and made the sacrifices required.... silly.

It's all about the money...

Did same in basketball. Absolutely ridiculous decision. Those kids deserve to be recognized.

Here's what I've got @jarhead24219 :
 
Lee: 11 rush, 127 yards, 3 TD
GC: 26-157-2
Battle: 18-149-2
Wise 1: 24-109-1
Wise 2: 115 yards
Graham: 29-137-2
Abingdon: 17-65-1
Eastside: 57-1 
Appomattox: 154-3
So for the season, I have him at 1,069 yards and 15 TD.  Averages of 118.7 yards per game and 1.6 TD/game
I couldn't find carry totals for every game and may have missed a TD but I believe yards are correct. Great year, he could have added 100 more against East side but he didn't get touches. Only Abingdon and Eastside held him under 100. 

Yeah all total Lucas had 558 I believe. He had 43 yards vs central, and the playoff with Carroll he didn't carry the ball, so he had zero then. 

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they would have handed them the same good old fashioned ass whoopin Union received today😂
Hats off to Union on a great season. They improved as the season went on. Great coaching! Come on to the living room with the rest of us and watch the show next week. We have the 🍿 ready🤣

They made it this far by not making mistakes, today they made a lot. 

No, that's not what I meant. Fair observation.... we were talking about saying "IF" such and such would have happened..... which is making an excuse.  Unchained had said that guys from Central were saying "If we hadn't fumbled......" (excuse) .... and he had said no one from Union was making excuses. I was jokingly pointing out that they had made excuses, but then was called a liar.  
Someone said losers always make excuses and I agree they tend to. We can say "IF ______ had happened" all we want, but at the end of the day, "_____" did not happen. 
Anyway, it boils down to this, no excuses need to be made for either game. One team outplayed the other when it mattered most and life goes on. 

That’s even more ugly than I thought it would be.  It’s almost as if Union got generationally lucky to get to this point...

Union better get out of that double eagle defense or its gonna be a long night.

When that fire truck brings the team in, make sure it's got a full tank of water....

We are going to need more then cleats after watching appo warm up right now they are huge and fast. Tom Turner help us today please.
