Here’s the bad news: Black Hat Football’s founder Richard T. Estrada died of a massive heart attack this Sunday morning.
The good news is that Saturday night he had picked his 209 Black Hat Football Players of the Year for 2025.
Anybody who knew The Hat knew he had terrible handwriting. But thanks to the help of his friend and long-time sports writing colleague Will DeBoard (the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section’s current assistant commissioner), his messy notes were transcribed.
Estrada launched Black Hat Football in December 2012, and this is his 14th and final high school football team of the year for the 209 area code.
