Flashback Friday! The 2011 Hillmen went 9-3, including routs of Lincoln, Center, and Patterson, and a hard fought victory over league rival Bear River. Running behind a stout offensive line, running backs Brad Spangler (1309 yds), Joe Mangino (1029 yards), and Michael Robinson (762 yards) led a high powered ground attack, which helped Placer rack up the most points in the PVL. Colton Davenport (105 tackles), Tony Suverkropp (113 tackles), Eddie Vanderdoes (8 sacks), and hard hitting safety Anthony Hess, anchored a defense which allowed the second fewest points in league play. Check out some of the highlights below.

Gold ups the Ante in the second half to defeat Green 16-14 in Hillmen Classic
Marcus Ante connected with running back Owen Scott for a 60-yard scoring strike and also scored the game winning 2-point conversion on keeper to rally his team back from a 14-0 first half deficit for the victory.
Ante’s successful conversion was set up thanks to a touchdown run by fullback Brian Stangland late in the fourth quarter to tie the score 14-14.
Green team team running back Austin Hess ran for two first half scores to stake his team to a 14-0 lead. Green was poised to go up 21-0 in the third quarter, but Johnny Capra stripped the ball from Clark Pietromonaco’s hand on a fourth-and-goal.
Capra and Michael Downen, who recorded multiple sacks, led a stifling Gold team defense in the second half. Pietromonaco had two defensive interceptions for the Green squad.
