Roderick Robinson, already enrolled at the University of Georgia, became the third Lincoln athlete to win Cal-Hi Sports’ Mr. Football award after leading the Hornets to the state Division I championship and the San Diego Section in scoring.
Robinson had the academic credits and graduated early from high school not long after the Hornets’ 33-28 win in the championship game against Concord De La Salle. His 39 touchdowns and 234 points in the 13-1 season gave Robinson a comfortable edge over Francis Parker’s runner-up, Chris Williams, who had 204 points.
Lincoln’s Wally Henry also won the Mr. Football award in 1972 and Marcus Allen earned the honor in 1977.
Allen played quarterback and safety and was the star on a 12-0-1 team, culminating with a five-touchdown performance in a 34-6 championship win over Kearny. Henry scored 132 points for a 9-3 Hornets squad, which lost to Sweetwater, 22-12, in the title game.
