He scored a county record 35 touchdowns and also added five two-point conversion scores to register a county record 220 points.

Hills led Wildwood, which finished at 6-4, to its first-ever South Jersey playoff berth.

Also scheduled to sign for college on Feb. 6 is Middle Township linebacker/running back Zack Vogelei, who will be accepting a scholarship offer from Towson.
