*Ninety-seven backs playing Nebraska high school football rushed for over 1,000 yards this season to make the 44th annual Bobby Mills 1,000-yard Club. There were 60 seniors, 26 juniors, 10 who came from the sophomore class and one rare freshman who made the list.

*The state rushing leader came from the six-man ranks this year — Christian Timm from Eustis-Farnam. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound senior rambled for 2,962 yards in just nine games, averaging an amazing 329 yards an outing and 15.6 yards per carry. He also set a six-man, single-game rushing record with 514 yards early in the year.

*Pierce had three runners eclipse the 1,000-yard rushing mark in 2018, becoming only the second 11-man team in history to accomplish the feat. Even more remarkable was the fact that all three were just juniors. Millard North had three 1,000-yard rushers, “The Three Horsemen,” back in 2004.

*Schools who had two runners over 1,000 yards were Creighton, Dundy County-Stratton, Millard South, Minatare, Osceola/High Plains, Norfolk Catholic, Overton and Sutton.
