Last night was the first game of the season for the Harrison High HOYA’s. My cousin, Garrett Reed was a member of the HOYA’s and he was tragically killed in a car accident on January 24th. The HOYA’s honored Garrett and his family at the game by presenting his mom,dad and brother with a plaque honoring him. They also allowed his brother Carter to wear his jersey and made him the honorary captain for the game. Throughout out the game, fans, players and coaches held up the 11 sign to honor the memory of Garrett.
We traveled up to Powder Springs to attend the game with other family members. It was a powerful and touching tribute to a wonderful young man. We miss Garrett deeply and are honored that his memory continues to impact so many lives daily.
Enjoy the video which gives highlights to a very emotional evening.
Thanks to the HARRISSON HIGH HOYA family for reaching your arms around our family and helping us pay tribute to the memory of Garrett. You help us remember that being a 10 is never good enough – when we can stretch to be an 11.
