Each week during Friday Night Matchup, Spectrum News will celebrate some of the top student-athletes that Section V has to offer.

IRONDEQUOIT, N.Y. — Eastridge’s Garrett Silva represents everything a student-athlete should strive to be on and off the field.

The four-year soccer player is also one of the top tennis players in Section V. He currently ranks sixth in his class of 220 students and carries a 99 GPA. His busy academic schedule includes five IB and/or AP classes.

School administrators say Garrett is a great student and one of the most active. In addition to sports he is also a member of the wind ensemble and Eastridge’s marching band. He plays the saxophone and piano. Last year his piano skills won him an award in Chicago.

The high school senior has also been a part of the school’s student leadership group for the last two years.

Garrett will receive a $1,000 scholarship going to the college of his choice.
