WHO IS DAVID W. CARTER? He was the Dallas ISD school board president from 1934 to '50.
HOME STADIUM (capacity): John E. Kincaide Stadium (12,000)
WHAT TO EAT: Turkey drumsticks for $3
TRADITION: Jerseys with "Red Storm" across the chest during the playoffs.
FAMOUS NON-FOOTBALL ALUMS: Ex-NBA guard and Baylor star Micheal Williams; former Texas Tech star Andre Emmett, now a guard for the Miami Heat
TOP FOOTBALL ALUMS: LB Jessie Armstead, an ex-Miami Hurricane and NFL Pro Bowler; RB Darren "Tank" Lewis, Texas A&M's all-time leading rusher; St. Louis CB Jerametrius Butler; New Orleans OL Kendyl Jacox; Ex-NFL RB Le'Shai Maston; CB Clifton Abraham, who played for Florida State and Tampa Bay
BEST TEAM: 1988 team, which featured four future NFL players, might have been the area's best ever. Best remembered for off-field problems, but LB Jessie Armstead led a fast, ferocious defense.
THE TEAM
COACH: Allen Wilson (195-68-4 in 22 seasons overall, 33-4 in three seasons at Carter)
LAST SEASON: 10-2, 6-0 in District 9-5A, lost in 5A Division II area round
HOLES TO FILL: DL Vincent Williams (Texas A&M), RB/DB Carl Taylor (Rice), FB/LB Jeremy Williams (Baylor), RB/CB Brandon Williams (Midwestern State), RB/CB Jonathon Oliver (Tennessee Tech)
DIFFERENCE MAKERS
QB/DB Michael Crabtree 6-3 205 Sr. Outstanding athlete started for 5A basketball state semifinalists
MLB Adrian Hamilton 6-2 220 Sr. Oklahoma St. recruit has made smooth transition from DE
OT Curtis Bailey 6-7 340 Sr. Believe it or not, "Big Katt" slimmed down since last season
OT DeMarcus Love 6-5 260 Sr. Division I-A prospect has a mean streak, great frame
RB Michael Hicks 5-7 195 Jr. Powerful runner got 9.2 yards per carry in limited duty last season
WR Allen Gardner 6-6 185 Sr. Great leaper who gives Crabtree a lot of room for error
IMPACT NEWCOMERS
DE Curnelius Arnick 6-1 205 Jr. Hamilton's replacement has ability to penetrate and make plays
RB Richard Evans 5-9 160 Jr. Star of last season's JV gives backfield another breakaway threat
C Jeremiah Hatch 6-2 240 Jr. Baby of big offensive line is smart, quick and aggressive
Playing past Thanksgiving if ...
QB Michael Crabtree makes leap from amazing athlete to consistent playmaker. Opponents fear his feet. Now he has to force them to respect his arm.
Early Christmas shopping if ...
An inexperienced secondary doesn't improve significantly. Carter lost its entire secondary to graduation.
