Santa Cruz man sentenced in wife's murder

Forty-four-year-old Marshall Doud maintained before his sentencing Friday that he could not remember what happened when his wife died. But he added he was sorry for whatever he may have done and always loved her.
A jury this summer convicted Doud of first-degree murder in the suffocation death of his wife, 42-year-old Morgana, in September 2007.
Vitals: Clovis West, sophomore, catcher
He’s qualified because: In a year catching talent was a bit shy in the section, he was the exception — and as a sophomore, no less.
He hit .402 with seven doubles, a triple and two home runs, drove in 29 runs, batted .406 with runners in scoring position and threw out 60% of attempted base stealers.
He said it: “He’s such a polished hitter for his age. From last year to this year, he learned to make adjustments at the plate that most kids his age are unable to make. He established himself as one of the top hitters in the Valley and, with his work ethic, he’s only going to get better.” — Clovis West coach Kevin Patrick
