All-County special teams and all-purpose: First team

RICHIE HOGAN
Laguna Hills High School
6'-1", 180 lbs, Senior
Kicker/Punter
Highlights: Played a big role in the Hawks' run to the CIF-SS Southern Division title. Hogan averaged 36.4 yards per punt. He is one of the top kicker/punter combinations on the West Coast. His longest punt was 69 yards. He had 37 punts for 1,346 yards. He is being recruited by UC Davis and Colorado St.

VINCE D'AMATO
El Toro High School
6'-1", 190 lbs, Senior
Kicker
Highlights: D'Amato was one of the most consistent long-range kickers in Southern California. He kicked field goals of 48 and 41 yards against Cajon, he had a 45-yarder against Capo Valley, a 42-yarder against San Clemente and a 44-yarder against Huntington Beach. He was 19 of 19 on extra-point attempts. Forget about kick returns against the Chargers because D'Amato was a touchback machine.

RONNIE HILLMAN
La Habra High School
5'-11", 175 lbs, Senior
All-purpose
Highlights: Steve Fryer dubbed him the "Reggie Bush of Orange County” because of his amazing playmaking skills. Hillman was a threat to score whenever he touched the ball, whether it was out of the backfield as a running back, as a receiver or on kick and punt returns. The Freeway League MVP showed off all his skills in the Southwest Division title game when he caught a 16-yard touchdown pass and scored on runs of 54 and 43 yards to lead the Highlanders to a 26-14 victory over Tustin.
