Fennell, Foster lead top-seeded ‘Cats in rout of West Forsyth

VALDOSTA – Senior running back Marquis Fennell went over 1,000 yards receiving for the season as No. 1 seed Valdosta had its way with No. 32 seed West Forsyth 63-7 Friday’s playoff opener. The Stanford commit finished with 175 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries along with eight catches for 100 yards against the Wolverines, giving him 1,001 receiving yards and 995 rushing yards this season. For Fennell, Friday’s performance has him set to join rarefied air as a player with consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons and a 1,000-yard receiving season to his credit. “Marquis is one of the most underrated superstars that I’ve ever had,” Valdosta coach Shelton Felton said after the game. “If he’s not the best player, he’s one of the top players in the country. He went over 1,000 yards receiving, and he’s going to break 1,000 yards rushing. So, we’re doing the homework. We don’t know anyone other than Devin Hester as of right now.
