All-County receivers: First team

GRAHAM TENNEY
San Clemente High School
5'-11", 175 lbs, Senior
Wide receiver
Highlights: The mark of a great player is how he performs against the highest caliber of opposition. Tenney was one of those players who seemed to rise to the occasion whenever the Tritons faced their toughest opponents. He had nine catches for 130 yards against Esperanza, 13 catches for 120 yards and one TD against La Habra, 10 receptions for 154 yards and one TD against Dana Hills, 12 catches for 189 yards and one TD against Tesoro and 10 catches for 111 yards and two TDs against Mission Viejo. He finished with 78 receptions for 1,043 yards and nine TDs.

PAUL RICHARDSON
Los Alamitos High School
6'-1", 165 lbs, Senior
Wide receiver
Highlights: No one in the county made more spectacular catches than Richardson this season. His amazing leaping ability allowed him to go up and make catches that otherwise would have fallen incomplete. He made one-handed grabs with regularity. Richardson, who committed to UCLA, finished with 48 receptions for 780 yards and nine TDs. He had nine catches for 105 yards in a Pac-5 playoff loss to Tesoro.

KEVIN CHANDLER
Mission Viejo High School
6'-0", 188 lbs, Senior
Wide receiver
Highlights: Chandler was one of the most sure-handed receivers in the county. Whenever Diablos quarterback Allan Bridgford needed to make a play to move the chains, he knew he could throw it Chandler's way. Chandler was also capable of making those big, game-changing catches. He finished with 78 receptions for 1,436 yards and 12 TDs. He had 12 catches for 234 yards and two TDs against Dana Hills and he had seven receptions for 239 yards and one TD against Vista.
