Dade County’s first quarter of action Saturday night at Finley Stadium was enough evidence to conclude that Win Garmany could be in for a special season.
The 6-foot-2, 185-pound junior quarterback ended the first period with his third touchdown in a scrimmage against Chattanooga Prep on the third and final day of the Prelude to a Championship jamboree, sprinting into the right side of the end zone for a 4-yard score.
Garmany wowed on the first two drives for the Wolverines, too, as he threw a 27-yard touchdown pass while backpedaling to Brainerd transfer Hayden White before following with a beautiful 30-yard deep strike over the shoulder to Evan Mims for another score and an early 12-0 lead.
“Win is in for a breakout year,” Dade County coach Jeff Poston said. “He has all the arm talent in the world. He also has the legs to get us a bunch of first downs in short-yardage situations. He has been working with coach Rob Spence on his footwork and mental game this offseason. He is getting looks, and some colleges are ready to offer him after they see his success continue early in the season.”
Garmany showed off his star potential to end his sophomore season as he threw for at least 182 yards in five of Dade County’s last six games. In those games, he completed 82 of 130 passes for 1,108 yards (221.6 yards per game) and 11 touchdowns while helping the Wolverines pick up their only two wins of the season.
