Evangel’s Aiden Carter is a Swiss Army Knife for the Eagles
If you were Evangel’s Aiden Carter, you would be a very, very tired young man on Saturday morning. That’s the way it is week after week each fall for the multi-talented junior who rarely leaves the football field while making plays that bring Eagle fans to their feet. Against Byrd on Friday (Oct. 23) night, Carter was the deep man on kickoffs, made several outstanding receptions from freshman quarterback Briggs Berlin and picked off a pass late in the first half to stop a potential Byrd scoring drive. All in a night’s work when you’re playing 5A football with a roster that’s more like 2A in size. “Aiden Carter is the type player every successful program needs,” Evangel coach Denny Duron said. “While he could receive plenty of recognition for what he brings to the game of football, it’s the things he does behind the scenes that truly set him apart.” HUNTINGTON WINS: Huntington scores late to slip past Captain Shreve on senior night PREDICTIONS: Find out which Shreveport-area football teams should win Week 8 games Unfortunately for Carter, his effort was in a losing cause as Byrd (1-7) won its first game of the season 28-24 thanks to two
