All-Collin County: First Team Special Teams and Second Team
BY Andrew May, Matt Welch, Andrew Snyder and Kevin Hageland, Staff Writers
Grant Pierce (Punter, Plano Senior): Field position is as pivotal an element as any in football and Plano Senior’s Grant Pierce was nothing short of a nightmare for opposing offenses and special teams units.
Regardless of the spot, a towering punt or coffin kick was never out of range for the Wildcat punter. Pierce, a second team all-state selection, emerged as perhaps the most consistently productive piece of the Wildcats this season.
Eddie Puskarich (Kicker, Lovejoy): In a time when special teams have fallen to the wayside for many high school programs, Eddie Puskarich makes Lovejoy an exception.
Imoh Edohoukwa (Kick and Punt Returner, Frisco Centennial): Opponents that elected to kick the ball deep to Imoh Edohoukwa paid the price more often than not.
The shifty senior return man notched 937 of his team-high 1,843 all-purpose yards fielding kicks. He averaged 26 yards per return and totaled more than 100 yards on special teams in the last six games of the season. In addition to bringing three kicks back for touchdowns, the ever-dangerous Edohoukwa led the Titans in rushing (674 yards) and scoring (13 touchdowns).
