HIGH SCHOOL NOTEBOOK

Jermaine Marshall of Kilpatrick and Robert Watts of Paraclete have been selected Alpha League offensive and defensive players of the year, respectively.

Marshall, a senior running back, rushed for a state-record 3,586 yards and scored 57 touchdowns.

Watts, a senior linebacker, helped lead the Spirits to their third consecutive Southern Section championship.

Quarterback Rob Fockaert, who led Paraclete to 12 consecutive playoff victories in three seasons, is still hopeful he can hook on with a college program.

But if he doesn’t, Fockaert figures he’ll have plenty to do in the coming years.

“I’m going to be Al Bundy and sit back and talk about all the CIF championships,” he said, referring to the washed-up former high school star portrayed on the TV comedy “Married With Children.”

“But, hopefully, my life will turn out a little better than his.”
