This is the 37th year for the 1000 Yard ClubThe following are some noteworthy tidbits for this 2011 edition:- 85 backs surpassed the 1000 yard plateau in 2011. 62 were seniors,
- 17 are juniors, and 6 are sophomores.
- A record seven schools had two 1000 yard rushers: Omaha Burke, Pawnee City, Kenesaw, Creighton, Clarkson, Bloomfield, and Hitchcock County.
- There were 42 eleven man backs to hit the mark, 37 were from the 8-Man ranks, and there were six from the 6-Man football league.
- Garrett Kolling from Alma was a 3 time thousand yard rusher.
- Austin Casperson of Centura was the first back in his school’s history to rush for over a thousand yards.
These backs have a chance to 3-peat as 1000 yard rushers in 2012: Isaac Aakre-Millard North, Jackie Bailey-McCool Junction, Luke Glenn-Shelton, and James Kruger-Norris. Jacob Morrill of Creighton has a rare opportunity to become a four-year 1000 yard runner. He has rushed for over a 1000 yards in his first two seasons of varsity football, and will be a junior in 2012. Only two backs have ever turned that trick in history and they are Mike Brower of Fillmore Central (2000-2003) and Brandon Holtorf of Prague, who was also a 4-year 1000 yard passer from 1998 to 2001.
