Continued prayers for strength to the Garrett family.

[Hagar]

An ordeal no parent should have to face.   My prayers again for the Garrett family.   I pray someday they will be reunited in heaven.  ✝️✝️✝️

I still get chills thinking about that night. Hard to believe it's been 10 years. Prayers for his family and all the blue and silver. May all the athletes be safe on and off the field. Hug your kids for me. Our time on this earth is short.

Now I'm ready for Friday night lights.

Back then, SETXsports did a Friday Night Scoreboard show. Started around 10:30pm and lasted till 1am. That night, we did get some scores out but the vast majority of the talk that night was this tragedy. It was surreal.

Also, I got the privilege of broadcasting the first WO-S game after this tragedy. It was a home game vs. Kirbyville. What I remembered the most about that game was when the Mustangs were on offense first, the players all kneeled and held up the numbers 1 and 2 with their fingers, then intentionally took a delay of game penalty to remember their fallen teammate. Kirbyville head coach Jack Alverez declined the penalty. Great class on both sides.

I thought it was illegal formation because they lined up with no QB. Either way thanks again. Respect.

They lined up with no QB (had just 10 men on the field) but let the play clock run out so it was a delay of game penalty.

Would have had to snap the ball to get illegal formation penalty.

I was just thinking to myself earlier this season at the Vidor scrimmage in West Orange while I looked down at the impressive new field at Dan Hooks Stadium. Looking at the 112% emblazoned on the turf and wondering why the number 112 specifically, why not 110% seeing Reggie Garretts number 12 now I know. I remember this happening 10 years ago and it all being really sad but I didn't know his jersey number. Never put 2 and 2 together or 100 and 12 together in this case, I just realized 112% was born from his death.

In a interview one time, a reporter ask him about give about giving 100% everyday and he said " I'M NUMBER 12 SO I HAVE TO GIVE 112% EVERYDAY"

That was terrible.
