1Carteret: Students. Sports. Success.

A Year to Remember

Our middle school athletic philosophy is about participation. The more students that participate in more sports for more schools, the better. Athletic contexts give students a chance to test some necessary life skills: teamwork, commitment, drive, determination, endurance, belief, humility, grace, respect, confidence—among others. Truly, all who participate in sports can be winners who gain winning qualities.

But athletics also involves competition. And from that standpoint, we would be remiss not to recognize the Morehead Middle athletic program this year. As the above clipping from their website illustrates, the Minutemen have placed first or tied for first in five sports thus far. In the other two, soccer and wrestling, they placed second to Broad Creek.

Hat’s off to principal Sue Kreuser, the dedicated coaches and AD, the supportive parents, the loyal fan base, and the stellar Minuteman athletes (including cheerleaders) who have worked so hard to make this a year to remember.
