Robert Windsor earns 1st Team All-State honor
Peter Andrew earns 2nd Team All-State honor
Justin Maratik earns Honorable Mention All-State honor
The Associated Press released its all-state football teams late Thursday night, and Fond du Lac was well represented.
Fond du Lac senior Robert Windsor earned first-team on the defensive line, senior offensive lineman Peter Andrew made second-team while junior tailback Justin Maratik earned honorable mention.
Windsor was the anchor to the Cardinals’ defense that allowed only 15.3 points per game. He had five sacks and 38 tackles on the year. “Robert was as dynamic as any defensive linemen in the state of Wisconsin,” Fondy head coach Mike Gnewuch said. “His performances garnered the interest of big-time colleges across America. He’s got that very awesome combination of both size and speed. He’s got tenacity. He plays every single down really hard. I was really fortunate to have had the opportunity to coach him.”
Andrew played a big role on the offensive line that allowed Maratik rush for over 1,900 yards and 21 touchdowns. “Pete is a man’s man, he’s a kid that every football coach loves,” Gnewuch said. “He does everything right. He never takes a play off. He is a kid you just don’t replace. You cherish every opportunity you have to coach him.
“(Justin) just holds on to the football. He’s a downhill runner that’s going to get hit every single play in our offense. He gets the large, large majority of our carries and to be able to go through the season rushing for more than 1,900 yards and not turn the ball over is an unbelievable
