For those of you who did not make it to the banquet, or for those who were not paying attention, or for those of you who would like to have a recap of the team awards given out at the banquet, I thought that it would be a good idea to post the awards and supporting stats for the team awards handed out at the banquet. Please keep in mind that these were determined by me, Lenny Erickson, and were meant in a spirit of fun and good will. So, if you are offended by any of these awards, blame only me, and get over yourselves.
