Meet The Player: Jack Garrison

The East Carteret HS basketball program has achieved quite a bit of success over the past few years with players like: Trevor Willis, Jacque Brown, Sam Johnson, and Ty Simmons being a huge part of the teams that went very far in the playoffs as well as winning a state championship. In the last two season there has been a new player to step up and lead the Mariners and that is Guard Jack Garrison who recently verbally committed Lees Mcrae. Jack is known for his ability to knock down the trey ball as well as getting to the basket at will, he has a very solid frame and you can see that spends a good amount of time perfecting his jump shot and overall game.
