While Hutchinson’s Carter Morgan was a first team all-league linebacker a year ago, he was thrusted into a new position: long snapper.
It was certainly a new experience and there were ups and downs, so Morgan spent much of his offseason looking to improve at that position.
“I was put at long snapper for the first time last year so I am definitely hoping for better results,” Morgan said. “I’m also wanting to be a better all-around player for our team.”
Morgan thinks he is in the best shape he has been in throughout his high school career and that can be attributed to a grueling offseason.
“I’ve had many coaches push me throughout the summer and winter seasons during their own time to keep me in the best of shape,” Morgan said. “Aside from conditioning, then just getting on the field with friends to work on different parts of the game.”
Hutchinson lost in the second round of the playoffs last season, so Morgan is focused on making his senior year a more memorable one.
“I want to take full advantage of this senior season with some of the best guys and leaving it out on the field without looking back when it’s finished,” Morgan said. “I just want to improve my stats and have fun doing it. But as a team I want to lead them to a deeper playoff run and make memories we will remember forever.”
