Evidence status
- The figures are contemporary newspaper-reported senior-season totals, not later estimates or separately audited school records.
- The 1 defensive touchdown is the documented interception returned for a touchdown — it is itemized, not counted twice, inside the 20-touchdown total.
- Nick Reynolds's established 1997 senior total is 168 solo tackles across a 12-game season, a rate of 14.0 solo tackles per game.
- Across 1995, 1996 and 1997 the high-school solo-tackle total is 384 (96 + 120 + 168), or 10.67 solo tackles per covered varsity game across 36 games.
- No official all-time Marple Newtown individual tackles leaderboard exists in the program's published school records, so no rank is claimed for these totals.
