By the Numbers: Top Returning Receivers Set to Shine in 4A

By Joglo Lawasan Post a Comment

Throughout the month of April, HSOT Insiders will get access to daily articles aimed at forecasting the 2025 high school football season in North Carolina.

Currently, we have details on the 4A N.C. High School Athletic Association experiencing an influx of threatening messages.

As players frequently do not participate in an equal number of games, we calculate statistics based on average figures.

For wide receivers and tight ends, we track yardage per game, yardage per catch, touchdowns per game, and touchdowns per reception.

For players to be included in these articles, teams either need to publish their complete statistics online or forward them to Joel.
