Marcus Brooks scored two dramatic touchdowns \u2013 one on an interception return, the other on a kick return \u2013 and Tank Proctor also found the end zone twice as the King County Jaguars opened their minor league football season on Saturday with a 44-7 rout of the Kitsap County Bears at French Field.<\/p>\n
The Jaguars, who have moved up to the North American Football League this year, were up just 10-7 on the Bears at halftime, then blew it open in the third quarter with 20 points.<\/p>\n
Brooks started that third-quarter surge when he picked off a pass and returned it 45 yards for a touchdown. Proctor supplied the next two touchdowns, the first of them on a 6-yard run, the second on a 40-yarder.<\/p>\n
Brooks returned a kick 42 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown.<\/p>\n
Joe Alford\u2019s 24-yard pass from Duane Bowen put the Jaguars on the board in the first quarter, and Vernon Word had a 42-yard scoring run in the fourth.<\/p>\n
Coach Mike Astley, who was doubling as the team\u2019s kicker, hit a 29-yard field goal to snap a 7-7 tie.<\/p>\n
The Jaguars return to action on July 12 at French when they play host to the B.C Spartans at 7 p.m. in the Kent Cornucopia Bowl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
