Well, no games are being played, so there are no broadcasts to do. There are not practices to attend and No sports press conferences taking place. And, while there may have not been a party atmosphere with lots of family and friends, a couple of Signings have taken place, locally.
Reeds Spring senior Brandon Reeves-Eakins recently signed a National Letter of Intent to throw for the Southwest Baptist Bearcat Track and Field Team. The hammer throw, although not a sanctioned high school event in Missouri, will be an event that Brandon will get to try his hand at.
Brandon is coming off of a shoulder injury that cost him his senior football season and was looking forward to a healthy track season before it was cancelled.
Across the Lake, over at Blue Eye, Nathan Garnett has inked a NLI that will send him to Evangel University in Springfield. Garnett averaged nearly 17 points a game this past season. He has accumulated a number of honors during his career at Blue Eye, including two time Best Floor General and Youngin of the year from my annual Perry Awards.
Proud of Brandon he will certainly be a very valuable athlete at SBU… MAYBE EVEN FOOTBALL… if the bearcat coach is paying attention…🤗. Grandpa 👍🏅
Thank you so much for this article. Brandon Eakins has had a rough time during his high school year due to injury. Brandon is my nephew and we are so very proud of him.
