Huge thanks to everyone who made the 2024 season so exciting and so memorable. Although it ended sooner than we hoped, we are so grateful to have had another year of hitting hard and having fun—working and striving together to do our community proud and continue the Hillmen Football tradition of excellence. And while we might not have achieved every goal we set for ourselves, we relished the journey, enjoying our accomplishments on the scoreboard and in the record books, and appreciating everything that isn’t as measurable: starting in the weight room in early January, and continuing on through all of the spring practices, 7 on 7 matches, conditioning in the heat of the summer, countless team meetings, film review sessions, and fundraisers—before putting everything together for those magical Friday nights under the lights. We battled through it all, victories and setbacks, alike—overcoming injuries and adversity, and growing together individually and as a team.

Thank you to our players, especially our seniors, for being such excellent representatives of the Hillmen Football tradition. Thank you to our coaches for the extraordinary amount of time, energy, and care that you put into our kids and our program. Thank you to Placer Athletics and the staff at Placer High School. Thank you to the always-awesome Placer Gold Mine, Cheerleaders, and the Golden Hillmen Marching Band! Thank you to the volunteers who make everything possible: our families, community members, and our booster club. Thank you to our amazing sponsors and all of the individuals, businesses, and organizations who contributed to Placer Football this year. Thank you to Auburn for being so incredibly supportive. We wouldn’t be who we are without all of you!

“In the best of times, in the worst of times, and at all times: it’s great to be a Hillman!”

See you in 2025!
