Washington were also MaxPreps National Champions and Harris was named Gatorade player of the year. \u00a0You would think after losing a talent like Harris and many key seniors, \u00a0Booker T would suffer some kind of decline. \u00a0Well just hold on a minute there Swami, \u00a0enter Maurice Alexander.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander entered Booker T.
