After a listless first three games in which his team went 1-2 and he spent most of his time on the bench because of injury, Cajon quarterback Thomas Carter and his teammates had had enough. So before the Cowboys were to start the San Andreas League season Oct. 1 against San Gorgonio, Carter had a message.
"Me and the other team captains had a meeting with the entire team and just told them that we needed to step it up," Carter said. "We weren't going to let our senior season go to waste."
Carter backed up his words with action, playing at an elite level in leading the Cowboys to nine consecutive victories before losing to Colton in overtime in the CIF-SS Central Division semifinals. Since the pre-San Gorgoniospeech, Carter threw for 2,121 yards and 25 touchdowns in 10 games and rushed for another 709 yards and six touchdowns. That performance, and Cajon's 10-3 record, earned Carter the San Andreas League Offensive MVP and made him a perfect choice for the All-Sun Player of the Year.
what about Mike Thomas, what is the latest on him.
safe to assume, he signed on with us?
Carter has talked with Arizona State, Mississippi, San Diego State and Missouri, but has yet to receive an offer of a scholarship. He hopes that will change this weekend when he visits Boulder for the Colorado Spring game.
“They said when I come out there and meet the coach, if he likes me, then they will offer me a scholarship,” said Carter.
Carter, who threw for 2,121 yards and 25 touchdowns and rushed for another 709 yards and six scores in 10 games as a senior, hasn't received a scholarship offer from CU yet, but that could change next weekend.
"They said when I come out there and meet the coach, if he likes me, then they will offer me a scholarship," Carter said.
"I've got tremendous hands," he said. "That's one thing I do have confidence in about myself."
Nothing.
The story is that Carter got his wallet stolen (no ID) and wasn't able to travel. Mostly talking to Hagan and trying to get a trip arranged for later in the month.
