Garrett Howell is a star football player at South Haven High School. Through the first four games of the season the senior tight end and cornerback has 14 receptions for 253 yards and three touchdowns.

As a senior Howell has also taken on a leadership role for his team.

“As a senior I try to keep everyone’s heads up during the game. We’ve got quite a few new players this year. Some who haven’t played since Junior High so we have had a tough time figuring out little mistakes to win more games,” said Howell.

That leadership also shows off the field. Howell is a member of the Sumner County Community Drug Action Team.

“On the drug action team we have meetings to talk about different things we can do in our own communities to keep kids away from drugs and alcohol,” said Howell, we occasionally have meetings throughout the year to meet with other schools and talk about different things they’re doing to give us ideas to bring back to our own community.”

Howell is also getting it done in the classroom with a 3.0 GPA. Off or on the field Garrett is an example of leadership in his community.
