Carter averaged over 15 points per game this season and was also the District 4-5A Basketball Player of the Year as she led the Missy Gators to the semifinals.

The sophomore is not only a dominant player on the court, she also received high recognition in track and field this season and still has two years left to shine for the Missy Gators.
