As a senior, Rose Hill center midfielder Scotty Carr only has winning on his mind.
Carr is a three-sport athlete who has played soccer since he was two years old and is a pivotal part of the Rockets early season success.
“My goals this year are the same as all of the other guys on our team,” Carr said. “We’ve lost in regionals the past two years, and with the amount of talent we have, we feel like we can really go far in the state tournament and try to win it all.”
Being the Rockets center midfielder, Carr knows how important he is to making the team go.
“During a game, I’m kind of the center of everything, so I’m always trying to direct people and spread the ball from inside to out,” Carr said. “I gotta stay pretty calm on the ball but I also have a very competitive side and have to hype up my teammates throughout the game.”
Carr has been named to multiple all-league and all-state teams over his last two years.
With head coach Jerry Treat being his head coach since he was in fifth grade, Carr and Treat are always on the same wavelength.
“I play soccer because I’ve always loved the guys that I’ve played with and the coaches I’ve had,” Carr said.
For Carr and the Rockets to get to where they need to be, the senior knows it starts in practice.
“We just have to come out every practice and treat it like it’s a game,” Carr said. “All of us are competitive, and the way we can win is by working as a team and everyone on the field giving all their effort for all 80 minutes.”
