After the COVID-19 pandemic nearly wiped out the Crenshaw football program, the Cougars are making a comeback under longtime coach Robert Garrett.
. He’s known as G Man. He has helped so many players and students move forward through the years by preaching and pleading that one fan said, “They should build a stature of Garrett in front of the school.”Cougars were playing De La Salle
in the 2009 state championship game. Dwindling enrollment, the rise of charter schools and changing demographics have left Garrett trying to hold on despite large obstacles on and off the field. But it’s players like senior Darnell Horton that keep him coaching. Horton, a starter at linebacker, left offensive tackle and long snapper, is the last player still playing who showed up in the spring of 2021 to a football meeting that numbered less than 15 as the pandemic left people wondering if the Cougars would even have a football team.
“The last two years has been very fun,” Horton said. “I have met a bunch of new people through football.” Said Garrett: “He’s been through the hard times. He’s one of the few that hung in there with COVID. What I admire about him is he’s a hard worker with a great attitude and nothing shakes him. Any coach would have him because he’s a team leader. He’s never missed a practice in all these years.”
