Mt. Pleasant’s Jarrett Garn
From triple coverage to national attention.
Mt. Pleasant running back Jarett Garn’s highlight-reel touchdown catch was the No. 2 play on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10 on Friday night.
In the second quarter, on third-and-14, Garn made a leaping grab on a deep throw from Cole Chatfield over three Yough defenders. He then ran 24 yards to complete a 56-yard scoring play.
“That’s one of the best catches I’ve ever seen,” Mt. Pleasant coach Jason Fazekas said.
A video clip from the Westmoreland Sports Network went viral Friday night.
