1Carteret: Students. Sports. Success.

West Nabs Jr. Shootout

New WCHS JV coach Chase Martin chalked up his first victory as the Jr. Patriots handled the Jr. Cougars of CHS, 28-12. The game was marked by strong running attacks and heavy hitting on D from both teams. Here’s a quick video montage from the game.

So far in the battle for inter-county JV bragging rights, the rundown is as follows:

ECHS JV 1-0

WCHS JV 1-1

CHS JV 0-1

East and Croatan line it up next week.

Bucket Stays at East

Quarterback Trey Fulcher admires the Mullet Bucket as the Mariners celebrate a 55-16 victory over West Carteret at McDonald’s in Cypress Bay Plaza late Friday night. Fulcher and the rest of his East Carteret senior classmates became only the second senior class in East history to win all four Mullet Bucket games during their playing careers. (Dylan Ray photo)

Here’s the photo montage of the game.

Jr. Mullet Bucket Heads East

The East Carteret JV’s capitalized on a long pass to grind out a touchdown in the final moments of the first half.  It was an evenly matched, bone-jarring opener for both ball clubs.  In the end, East prevails 6-nil

Here is a 5-minute photo montage of the action.

Physicality

August 16-17, fifty-three middle and high school coaches from our system participated in Coaches Education Workshops sponsored by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association and TMX Shipping. The event was held at the Crystal Coast Civic Center.

The A-team workshop facilitators were Mark Dreibelbis of NCHSSA, retired New Hanover County AD Mike Brown, and retired Martin County AD P. J. Taylor.

These workshops were not about X’s and O’s. Rather, they were about doing what is right for our students who commit to participating in interscholastic athletics. The interactive workshop content included mentoring, personal coaching objectives, team building, vision building, communication and effectiveness, ethics, “Why Coaching is Hard,” and risk management.

The workshop evaluations were off the chart. And where would we be without a photo essay of the first Carteret County Coaches Education Workshop?

Of course, we would be remiss not to create a motivational poster from the event.
