PLAYOFF LIES, DARN LIES & STATISTICS
- James Hawbaker won the title, but Trey Cartledge made the biggest leaps in all time playoff stats... He went from 8th to 4th all time in playoff wins... and his second DeuceBowl appearance makes him on the 4th DFC'er ever to win 10+ games in the championship.
- The DeuceBowl game winners at 10+ are Tad Roose (19-5)... Drew Morris (15-9)... Trey (12-4)... and Wookiee Fulaytar (10-6)
- The Mighty Gainey becomes the first person to ever make 10, count 'em TEN, postseasons, while Drew Morris and Yours Truly reach their 9th.
- Big Eddy Mac... Matt Latta... and Jennifer Ersnt all are at 8th overall.
- Right now, the longest current active playoff streak, though, belongs to Tommy McLeod, who has made his 4th straight. He missed DFC IX postseason. He made it the three previous years... meaning had he also made it in IX, he'd be at 8 straight postseasons.
- The all time consecutive playoff appearances? The Mighty Gainey, with 8 straight, from DFC III to DFC X
- Working on their own streaks, Randy Latta has made it 3 straight years.
- James Hawbaker, Matt Halpert, Brad Latta, Jessica Hawbaker, Drew Morris, Mark Gainey, Matt Latta and Jennifer Ernst, 2 straight years.
- One more note about Trey... he's the only DFC'er who has won 20+ games in multiple postseasons. He won 22 in DFC XI, his championship year... and this year, he won 24. He also ties Matt Halpert with the best record in a playoff, with 24-8. Trey did it this year, while Matt went 24-8 last year in DFC XII... Mark Gainey went 24-9 in DFC VIII.
