Scarborough High’s Owen Garrard wins Fitzpatrick Trophy
The running back/linebacker led the Red Storm to their first Class A football championship.

...He said individual and team success really began in the summer with weight training and conditioning.

“I changed my summer job so I could get a job that allowed me to get to the morning workouts,” he said.

That was important because, “if you’re connected with those who you’re out there with you want to fight for them more, play for them more, and so you just play better if you have better chemistry.”

The Fitzpatrick Award also incorporates a scholastic ranking into the application process. Garrard, Bryant and Potter each excel in the classroom and participate in community and volunteer activities.
