Grady Howell of South Haven was chosen as the SCCDAT Athlete of the Month for October. Howell is a three-sport athlete for the Cardinals.

Howell said playing three sports is not something that is difficult for him, because he tries to devote his entire attention to the sport that is in season and not look ahead to the next season.

“It is not difficult to play all three sports,” Howell said. “It is just a passion of mine and I love to do it.”

Howell plays three different positions on offense for the South Haven football team and led the team in total touchdowns this season.

Injuries plagued the Cardinals this season, Howell said.

“We had a rough season, with us not winning a game,” Howell said. “We have had a couple key guys get hurt that didn’t help.”

Last season for the basketball team, Howell averaged three points and four rebounds per game and figures to play an even more important role this year.

After graduation, Howell plans to complete the Electrical Power Technology program at Pratt Community College.
