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
