October 28, 2009 — Jersey Village High School senior football player Garrett Granier was selected as a finalist for the Touchdown Club of Houston Scholar Athlete of the Year award.

Granier, a two-year starter for the Falcons, has been invited to attend the 11th annual Touchdown Club of Houston Football Scholar Athlete Luncheon on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at the J.W. Marriott Hotel. He will be joined by his parents and Jersey Village coaches and administrators.

“Garrett is an outstanding student-athlete who has excelled in both academics and athletics,” said Jersey Village coach David Snokhous. “He is a very gifted and talented athlete who excels in everything he does. Garrett exemplifies the true spirit of a Falcon football player.”

The Touchdown Club has awarded about $140,000 in scholarships over the past 10 years at this luncheon, during which all 25 finalists will receive at least $500 toward college. Finalists must be starters on their respective high school football teams with the highest grade-point average on the team.
