LOL....obviously struggling to find some positives for the season.

[Apis Bull]

I forgot that Sanches was only a freshman

[BayIslandBull]

Is it Sanchez or Sanches? It's spelled one way on the roster, and another in this article. I hope they got it right on the award this time.

Ciabatti for ST award is easily a slam dunk. That guy got a killer workout this season. Too bad that meant we were giving the ball back to our opponent every time, but he did a great job this year.

How does Johnson win Freshman of the year when Mack was more productive?

[JoshuaG]

Our most improved player was the long snapper?
