7. Write 600 words or more on something about anything in the league that interests you. It could be related to statistics, a league issue that you take seriously, or a niche part of history that doesn’t fit neatly into either of the above categories. This must be directly related to the league, so don’t wax 600 words about your team’s participation on a Werewolf server or something.
Its offseason PT time! Time to talk about Zenzeroni Xystarch II again!
At this point I think its indisputable that Xystarch is on an insane pace as a punter. He currently holds 4th on the all time leaders for career punt average, and 5th for the all time inside 20 rate leaders. The best anyone else has is a spot in the top 5, and the other at 10. Now despite this, Xystarch is a statistical anomaly for a completely different reason, and has joined a club very, very few are a part of.
Throughout the entire history of the ISFL, there have been a relative very few instances of punters getting the same amount of punts inside the 20 at least 2 seasons in a row. I was looking through the index and noticed Zenzeroni Xystarch II had the same amount of punts inside the 20 in his last 3 seasons, and I got curious about players who have had seasons consecutive seasons with the same amount of punts inside the 20. I hastily threw together a program to find such seasons. The result is two lists that I don't believe have ever been compiled before.
Here is the exclusive club of punters that have managed to get 2 such consecutive seasons:
Booter McGavin - S42, S42 - 33 punts inside the 20
Bradley Madlad - S9, S10 - 15 punts inside the 20
Christiano Ronaldo - S3, S4 - 20 punts inside the 20
Dean Jackson - S5, S6 - 15 punts inside the 20
Dougie Smalls - S27, S28 - 39 punts inside the 20
Herbert Prohaska - S21, S22 - 10 punts inside the 20
Ian Cole III - S36, S37 - 37 punts inside the 20
Jeremy Crouse Jr. - S39, S40 - 29 punts inside the 20
Master Chief - S46, S47 - 27 punts inside the 20
Matthew McDairmid - S25, S26 - 13 punts inside the 20
Mike Makmur - S42, S43 - 27 punts inside the 20
Sam Sidekick - S30, S31 - 34 punts inside the 20
Stephen Harris - S7, S8 - 12 punts inside the 20
Stephen Harris Jr - S15, S16 - 14 punts inside the 20
Swantavius King* - S37, S38 - 34 punts inside the 20
Swantavius King* - S40, S41 - 29 punts inside the 20
Taipan Pete - S33, S34 - 35 punts inside the 20
Turk Turkleton** - S10, S11 - 14 punts inside the 20
*Swantavius King is the only player to achieve 2 separate same streaks that lasted 2 seasons each
And now a far more exclusive club, the punters who managed to get 3 such seasons consecutively:
Alex Frost - S17, S18, S19 - 11 punts inside the 20
Iyah Blewitt - S2, S3, S4 - 20 punts inside the 20
Turk Turkleton** - S4, S5, S6 - 13 punts inside the 20
Zenzeroni Xystarch II - S46, S47, S48 - 34 punts inside the 20
**Turk Turkleton is the only player to be a member of both clubs
It has been nearly 30 seasons since the 3 consecutive same punting season club has gained a new member. The wildest part about the newest member is that he completely blows everyone else out of the water in terms of how many of his punts landed inside the 20. But that likely isn't even the wildest stat I uncovered while working on this project.
While this originally was intended to be a post proclaiming the greatness of Zenzeroni Xystarch, I instead uncovered what I believe to be the two most exclusive clubs for punters, and uncovered possibly one of the wildest stats ever. Turk Turkleton is the only player in ISFL history to have 2 consecutive seasons of the same amount of punts inside the 20, and an entirely separate streak of 3 consecutive seasons of the same amount of punts inside the 20.
