Neuse News Sports Football Stat Leaders | 2026 Eastern North Carolina
Neuse News Sports Football Stat Leaders
2026 Eastern North Carolina · All 13 Neuse News Sports-covered football programs · Verified MaxPreps reporting
How this works: Rushing, passing and receiving lists rank MaxPreps-reported individual season yardage totals, not estimates. GP is the number of games reflected in a player’s reported line, which may differ from the team’s completed schedule. Defensive and touchdown sections compare the top MaxPreps-qualified names listed on each team’s leaderboards; those sections are selected leaderboards, not a complete census of every player.

Reading the table: Run share = rushing attempts ÷ (rush attempts + pass attempts). Rush yard share = rushing yards ÷ (rushing yards + passing yards). The two measures are different.
MaxPreps-reported season data imported into Neuse News Sports October 8, 2026. Some player/game actions may be missing; these are shares of reported stats, not fully charted play-call percentages.
Excluded from these percentages: Goldsboro’s reported season yardage is too incomplete for meaningful rushing/passing yard shares, and Wayne Prep has only a three-game reported sample despite four completed results. Their team Stats pages retain the available verified entries without inventing the missing values.
