| Final Great Northern Conference Statistics |
Although the Ashland Oredockers finished in the bottom half of the conference standings, several Oredockers were among the statistical leaders in the Great Northern Conference in 2021. The Oredockers finished tied for 5th in the conference with Lakeland and Merrill, all with records of 2 wins and 5 losses. Two of Ashland's losses were forfeits to Antigo and conference-champion Mosinee due to COVID-19 protocols. Although the Oredockers did beat Antigo 33-8 in a rescheduled game on October 21st, the win did not count in the conference standings but the statistics from that game did count.
As a team, the Oredockers finished as the 4th best offense and the number 6 defense in the conference. Offensively, Ashland averaged 328 yards per game, 173.7 rushing and 154.3 passing. Defensively, the Oredockers allowed opponents 310.5 yards per game, 203.7 on the ground and 106.8 through the air.
