`REVENGE' AT HAND IN NORTH-SOUTH.Byline: Gerry Gittelson Daily News Staff Writer Dominic Washington and Josh Foster look to the upcoming High Desert all-star football contest as a chance to show Paraclete High is for real. The Paraclete pair will compete in the second North-South matchup at Palmdale High on June 26. Kickoff is 7 p.m. Paraclete went 13-1 and won the Southern Section Division XI championship. But recurring speculation about the legitimacy of small-schools football has given the two added incentive. Certainly, there are those who believe in Washington and Foster. Washington, a defensive back, has accepted a football scholarship to Cal Poly Cal Poly may refer to:

But Washington refuses to fuel the big-small hype. ``Every time I step on the field, I don't think I have anything to prove,'' he said. ``The media might build this up, but there's no doubt we can play.'' Nick Carrillo of Palmdale, one of the main schools feeding the South team, predicts the Paraclete players are in for a long night. ``Basically, this is revenge because Paraclete has rings,'' said Carrillo, a 250-pound lineman who plans to walk on at Cal State Northridge. ``Paraclete has rings and swelled heads, so I'm going to show 'em what's up.'' The North team also features five players from eight-man finalist Bethel Christian. 2ND HIGH DESERT ALL-STAR FOOTBALL GAME NORTH: Littlerock, Antelope Valley, Paraclete, Boron boron (bōr`ŏn) [New Gr. from borax], chemical element; symbol B; at. no. 5; at. wt. 10.81; m.p. about 2,300°C;; sublimation point about 2,550°C;; sp. gr. 2.3 at 25°C;; valence +3. and Mojave.
