Hilliard was at his best for Northern Guilford when the lights were brightest, and he picked off two of his six passes in a key regional semifinal game against Ashbrook. He led the conference with six picks and finished with 60 tackles from his safety position. He has the chance to move up in our rankings next season as the Nighthawks’ defense loses several key contributors, making Hilliard the team’s leading returning tackler.
