Wrapping up the 2008 HHEFL College season
Well it is that time of year to wrap things up for yet another great HHEFL season. The HHEFL has now enjoyed three seasons, with three different league champions and as we look ahead to the 2009 HHEFL Pro Season some changes in the rules will be on the horizon. But before we get to that, we need to recognize the coaches and players of the 2008 season.
Before the HHEFL Championship Game last Saturday, the co-commissioners handed out all the awards for the 2008 season. All of the photos of the winners will be available soon in the photo album section of this site.
Your 2008 HHEFL College Season winners were...
The 2008 Heisman Trophy went to Mike Hart from the Michigan Wolverines. Mike Hart was the unanimous choice, as in just five games he rushed for 951 yards on 65 carries. He scored a unheard of 15 touchdowns and carried a 14.63 yards per carry the entire season. Mike Hart now holds the HHEFL records for most yards, most carries and most rushing touchdowns in a season...records that will most likely not fall anytime soon.
The 2008 HHEFL Top Defense award went to the Ron Christianson and his Wisconsin Badgers. The Badgers were just ferious on defense, allowing just 11.6 points per game and registered 12 sacks. They gave up just 617 yards all season and were simply dominate in all games.
The 2008 HHEFL "Top Gun" award went to Matthew Culp and his Florida Gators. Chris Leak finished with 37/63 on attempts earning him a 58.73% completion percentage, just enough to win the award. He finished with 506 yard passing and just 4 touchdowns.
The 2008 HHEFL Top Rushing Offense went to, who else, the Michigan Wolverines. With 880 yards total rushing for the season, no other team came within 200 yards of Michigan. The high mark is a HHEFL record.
The 2008 HHEFL Top Passing Offense went to Matt Wavra and the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Buckeyes Craig Krenzel finished 35/60 for 640 yards and 4 touchdowns with 1 interception. There completion percentage was 58.33%, just one completion away from taking home the Top Gun award.
And finally, this season the commissioners got together and started a new tradition within the HHEFL. Not every year, but when this award is warranted a "Coach of the Year" will be named. It was an easy choice for this first coach to be awarded. The award went to Tim Young. Tim is what electric football is all about and has demonstrated time and time again what true sportsmanship is. A new comer to the hobby, he has continually improved his teams, but more importantly, he has showed that enjoyment of fellowship always trumphs the win/loss column. We are honored to have him in our league.
So Congratulations to all the winners! Congrats to Joe Allore and the Michigan Wolverines on an outstanding season and to Jimbo Dunagan and the Fighting Illini of Illinois for a tremendous season and championship classic.
Coming up for the HHEFL...rule changes will come out sometime in the next month or so. We will have our usual "Training Camp" get together in July, as well as, a recruiting get together to see if we can pick up more coaches for the upcoming season. All season stats and final stats will be emailed to all coaches, when they are completed soon.
Stay tuned for more HHEFL updates and CSL updates...long live football!
