The dynamic duo of seniors Charlotte Carr and Morgan Moore is a “recipe for success…on and off the court” said their coach, Mr. Matt Lewis. Playing together since they made the A-team in 5th grade, Carr and Moore can’t believe that they’ve finally reached their last year of high school basketball.

    Beginning in second grade, the pair was working hard on the courts to improve their skills and talent. Aside from playing town basketball, they played Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) basketball, fall league and summer league  in the offseason to stay in shape and fuel their love for the game. Carr’s passion for basketball started when she was a child, when she used to go to practices with her mom, who was a coach

    As freshmen, both Carr and Moore were put on the varsity team. Moore said it was “scary [and] petrifying”. Carr said that is was a “great opportunity to grow as basketball players.” Both agreed that they had extremely talented players to look up to as role models. Their successful season, with a final record of (21-3), motivated the girls to work just as hard in their next three years.

    Their time on the courts has taught them about commitment and loyalty, and how to be a team player. They hope that in their final season here at SHS, they can instill their respect and love for their sport into the rest of their teammates. Fortunately, their team already considers them leaders. Junior Erin Duffey said that, “both show good leadership and enthusiasm for the sport.”

    Carr and Moore are excited to be leaders of their team this year. They hope that if their team considers them leaders, that they can live up to their expectations. Moore said, “we hope that if they do then we are good role models for them. It’s weird to think about because we were freshmen and we idolized the seniors so much.”

    As far as this season, Moore said, “our strength is gonna be running.” They agree that they will have to come together as a team and move on after losing a lot of talented players last year. Despite the tough losses, both girls are remaining confident that this season will still be successful.

    Following this season, both girls plan on playing club or intramurals in college. Carr and Moore are sad to see their high school careers come to a close. Moore said, “I don’t know how I’m going to be able to cope with it.” Carr is determined to continue to play in college. She said, “It’s not that I want to play in college. I have to.”
