Sentinel standout signs with Carroll

Carroll College basketball coach Gary Turcott announced today that Montana’s “Gatorade Player of the Year” Andy Garland, has accepted a scholarship and will play for the Saints men’s basketball team after graduating from Missoula Sentinel High School.

At Sentinel, Garland played for coach Craig Matosich, and compiled a 20-3 record this past season. Garland, a four-year starter at Sentinel, was a three-time Class AA all-state selection and was recently named MVP of the Highline Invitational Tournament.

Garland is a strong, 6-foot-5 power forward with skills to play either on the perimeter or near the basket. Story
