ESPN Top 10 Plays!

Unless you go back and really look at all that has happened over the past 12 months, there is no way to really comprehend how good 2018 has been for Stetson.

With that in mind, we put out a challenge to the coaches and staff members inside the Stetson Athletics department to vote for the top 10 stories from the year. Amazingly, 81 different accomplishments received at least one vote, a telling number to illustrate just how good the year was. 

The plan was to have a top 10 countdown to end the year, starting with No. 10 on Saturday, December 22, and concluding with No. 1 on Monday, December 31. With ties in the voting, we'll actually highlight the top 21 stories of the year, with those stories tied in the voting sharing a day in the countdown.

To make this more interactive for Stetson fans, we want you to tweet to @StetsonHatters using the hashtag #2018Hats to tell us what stories you believe were the biggest from "The Year of the Hat".

To help you in making your own Top 10 list, here is a chronological listing of all the major accomplishments from the past year. Can you pick out just 10? It is much more difficult than you might think.
