The Latest: 2014 Arlington Martin DE Myles Garrett
Last night, Arlington Martin and Arlington Bowie went head to head in a match up that wasn't a playoff game, but had a playoff feel. A share of the District 3-5A title was on the line, as was the opportunity to avoid a first-round match up with Southlake Carroll. Arlington Martin came out with the 47-18 win, and 2014 DE Myles Garrett and the rest of the Martin Warriors were named co-district champs along with Arlington Lamar.
Texas A&M landed the state's top-ranked senior when Arlington Martin DE Myles Garrett committed to the Aggies. Since his commitment, Garrett has ended the recruiting process and has tried recruiting other players to join the Aggies along with him. The defensive end cannot wait to get to Aggieland, but is focusing on his senior season as they head into playoffs.
