Carr also had some good memories too.
“I would have to say scoring the PK with 30 seconds to send us to the state championship in soccer this year was awesome,” Carr said. “This season for basketball was also incredible. We had a great record and made it to state so both of those are at the top for me.”
The head coach of the basketball team Donald Blanchet coached Carr for all 4 years of high school.
“There are three things I can say about Caleb,” Blanchet said. “Having Caleb practice was like having a coach on the floor, another thing is that he elevated everybody’s game at practice everyday, and Caleb was a great example of giving everything he had everyday with what he was given.”
Carr also had teammates that he spent all four years of highschool with and enjoyed them by his side throughout highschool. After high school, Caleb Carr went to MNU to play basketball.
