In mid-October 1976, Miami Trace was dominating the SCOL statistics, having rung up a total of 2,653 yards of total offense. The Panthers also led in defensive stats, allowing the opposition only 489 total yards. Wilmington was second in total offense and Circleville was third – but, both trailed the Panthers by 1,000 yards or more. In team defense, Circleville was second while McClain was third. Circleville had only given up 44 more yards than MT and McClain had given up 192 more total yards than the Panthers. Hillsboro ranked sixth in both categories.
