Garvin was dismissed from his coaching duties at WMHS after several athletes on the football team were sent to the hospital with heat-related illnesses. Soon after, on Wednesday, Sept. 13, all ties between Garvin and Ouachita Parish Schools were cut loose.
In an interview with KNOE’s Aaron Dietrich, Garvin said he felt “stabbed in the back” by those he trusted as his support system while coaching the Rebel football team.
Coach Kevin Davis is the interim WMHS head football coach for the remainder of the 2023 football season.
