After all, as a sophomore he averaged nearly 21 points per game on the basketball court, hit .405 on the baseball diamond and intercepted six passes and caught 11 others for touchdowns on the football field. On Friday, Garrison added more validity to that claim in leading Desert Christian Academy to the school’s historic first playoff win in football in a 28-21 CIF Southern Section Division 7 victory over Laguna Hills. Garrison intercepted two passes, returning one of them 101 yards for a touchdown, and recovered a fumble late in the fourth quarter to set up the go-ahead touchdown.
