Garren was a two-year starter for the Lady Bulloggs slow-pitch softball team, and made the transition to the fast-pitch game her junior and senior seasons where she played second base. Garren was also a four-year varsity letterman for the Lady Doggs basketball team where she played guard.

Her individual senior season was highlighted by an undefeated home record. Her 2003 season would end with the Lady Bulldoggs advancing to the Sweet 16 in the state AAAA tournament. A scholar athlete throughout her high school career, Garrren was the recipient of the Steve Powers Award for earning 12 varsity letters as well as the winner of the Erroll Ridgeway Tennis Award and Scholarship. After graduating from WBHS, Garren would play collegiate tennis at Young Harris College. She is currently a teacher and coach at her high school alma mater. High School Wrestling: Area Tournament Staples wins area for AHS, seven local wrestlers set for sectionals By Chris Bridges Journal Sports Editor Apalachee High School’s Dylan Staples won first place in the 152-pound weight class at area last weekend and will now look to advance at state sectionals. Staples is one of seven wrestlers from AHS and Winder-Barrow High School whose season is still alive. In addition, Mat Wildcat teammates Mikey Hitchcock (third place. 195), Dalton Hood (third place. 285), Jackson Wadsworth (fourth place, 170) and Chance Wheeler (fourth place. 182) each advanced to state section als, which will be Friday and Saturday at Lanier High School. AHS wrestler Preston Marlowe finished fifth at 160 pounds and is an alternate for this weekend. Corbin Lang (220) also won a match for the Mat Wildcats last weekend. For WBHS, Tony Santibanez (182) and Cameron Best (285) both finished as runner-up and are preparing this week for sectionals. “Tony’s opponent (from Clarke Central) in the finals was top notch,” said Mat Bull dogg coach Jim Stoudenmire. “I believe everyone has a chance to beat anybody, but he will be tough to beat.” Best's finals opponent from Salem is someone Stoudenmire believes his wres tlers could defeat if they meet again this weekend. “We may have to change a couple of things in our game plan,” the coach said. “At area, he made a couple of little mis takes which cost him. If he works hard this week he has a chance. I think Cameron will have to wear him down rather than trying to take him out early in the match.” Sectionals begin Friday with weigh-ins at 1:30 p.m. and mat action getting started at 3:30 p.m. Overall at area. Clarke Central, as expected, was the team winner with 259 points followed by Lanier (143), Heritage (141.5) and Gainesville (128). AHS was fifth in the team standings with 83 points, just edging Loganville which compiled 82. Rounding out the rest of the teams were Salem (79). Flowery Branch (74), WBHS (49), Discovery High School (32.5) and Cedar Shoals (19). The top eight wrestlers from sectionals this Friday and Saturday will advance to the state finals on Feb. 11-13 at the Gwin nett Arena.
