Bradley Central’s Boo Carter Sizzles With Electrifying Plays
Cleveland, TN-(WDEF-TV)
Bradley Central’s Boo Carter is scary when he gets the ball in his hands.
Said Cleveland Coach Chandler Tygard: “Every time he touches the ball, it’s pretty scary. So, it doesn’t matter whether, he does a great job. It doesn’t matter whether he’s a, uh, you know, catching a pass. It doesn’t matter whether he’s on defense. If he gets his hands on the ball on a kick return, punt return, uh, he can take it the distance. So he kind of makes you hold your breath.”
Hold your breath is right, as he has multiple kickoff and punt returns for touchdowns.
Said Carter: ” I just, I mean, I just pick the pieces out on they block. I look at the holes. When I see one hole, I just go. I mean, I’m just going after that. And every time I just see a hole, I’m just going just green.”
His favorite punt return this season was against Walker Valley when he fielded the ball facing his own end zone and took it back nearly 100 yards.
Said Carter: “I say I had to do a little more way. Juke and a little more stiff, a little more me to me.”
Carter isn’t the only talented player on the field, and as coach Damon Floyd says, you can’t double everyone.
Said Bradley Central head coach Damon Floyd: “When you get a player like that, that can make, you know, a touchdown from anywhere on the field, which he’s done a lot this year, then it opens up some other guys, you know, and that’s the thing, is you gotta, you gotta kinda pick your poison right now with some of our guys. So, uh, if Boo’s getting doubled, then you’ve got other guys that can step up and make plays, and we’ve had a number of them throughout the season that have taken advantage of that.”
Said Carter: “I don’t wanna say it’s me. I say it’s my teammates helping me out because like, um, they can’t just, because like, if they try to double team or triple team me, like somebody else going to be open and like, we really factor that and um, so they gotta like, they gotta change the way they play their game. And so that’s when I started to get open and that’s when I started getting noticed.”
