ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Troy Carver

Uwharrie Charter Academy, baseball

Carter has been a key member of back-to-back state championship teams with the Eagles.

The senior infielder has been a steady performer in the field and at the plate.

Carver scored the winning run in the eighth inning of Game 1 of the state championship series against Northside-Pinetown in Holly Springs. The next day in Game 2, which turned out to be the title-clinching game, he had one of the team’s hits.

UCA has racked up 50 victories across the past two seasons.
