SACRAMENTO, Calif. - After earning a share of the National Northern League title for the second consecutive season, the Allan Hancock College football team garnered 15 All-League selections while picking up two superlative awards. 

Rick Aguilar was tabbed as the Co-Coach of the Year after leading the Bulldogs through a stellar turnaround season in his first year at the helm of the program. Aguilar's squad started the fall with a 1-3 mark before turning the slate around with six straight wins to close out the regular season campaign. 

Caden Harris was honored as the Offensive Player of the Year and a First Team All-League selection after a stellar freshman showing. The Las Vegas native notched 125+ rushing yards for the seventh consecutive game en route to his 17th rushing touchdown of the season.
