It was Morgan Park\u2019s first title since 1976.<br \/>\nFans of Chicago Public League basketball appreciate Garrett's refreshing old school game, while LEADING his otherwise frenetic (and talented) team in every sense of the word. He might not be as flashy as some of the other players featured on Ballislife, but 6\u20194 Garrett can play. He can shoot, score, pass, and defend. He finished his high school career as Morgan Park\u2019s career scoring leader and assists leader.<br \/>\nMany hoops fans don\u2019t know that Garrett plays with a rare health condition known as sickle cell trait. In 2012, Sports Illustrated wrote about Garrett\u2019s experience dealing with his health as well as the interesting story of his grandfather Bill Garrett who has been credited with breaking the Big Ten\u2019s color barrier when he played for Indiana in the 1940s.<br \/>\nBilly Garrett, Jr. will stay in Chicago to play college ball at DePaul (Chicago, IL) where his dad is an assistant coach.<br \/>\nThanks to everyone at Chicago Morgan Park High School and the IHSA.
