Running back Jaren Garrison out of Little River played a key role on offense last season. Rushing for over 1,000 yards, Garrison was a first team all-league running back.
Over the offseason, Garrison has been able to work on both the physical and mental aspects of the game.
“We have a very solid summer strength and conditioning program that has always been huge for our program,” Garrison said. “A weakness I want to focus on is going 110 percent every second of the game.”
While always trying to better himself, Garrison is more worried about being the best teammate he can be.
“We’re always focused on being better than last season,” Garrison said. I’m not a big stat guy; I really care about doing whatever the team needs to be the best we can be.”
After they sent him home last season, Garrison is looking to get some revenge on a strong Central Plains team.
“We are looking forward to the Central Plains game, just because of them taking us out last season,” Garrison said.
Only a junior, Garrison’s future plans are still up in the air.
“I’m taking it one year at a time and am not sure what I want to do in the future,” Garrison said.
