BELLA FLEMING
SPORT : Soccer, Basketball, Softball
FAVORITE MOMENT: After our first win during softball when everyone started celebrating!
HOW HAS SPORTS HELPED YOU: It's made my school life so much more enjoyable, I get to see my teammates in the halls or during class and we always say hello.
ADVICE: Don't give up. It's hard sometimes but your favorite memories will come from it.
FUTURE GOALS : I want to be a D1 athlete and play Softball or Soccer through High school and College.
Coach Gilberti
This Weeks Coach, get to know...
Coach Morgan Gilberti, Cheerleading, 2nd year at Carroll
Background...
I grew up in a military family so questions like "Where did you grow up?" are often hard to answer. In short, I grew up all over the world; however, my entire family is currently living in Massachusetts so that's where I consider "home." I grew up cheering for the various different schools I attended as well as all-star teams occasionally- depending on where I was living at the time.
Why do you coach...I coach, of course to spread my enthusiasm for cheerleading, but moreover, to be a part of the growth that comes from athletics. Over my last two seasons coaching at Carroll, I saw tremendous growth from my girls as individuals, cheerleaders, and an entire team; not to mention, they taught and helped me grow just as much, if not more
What do you enjoy about Carroll Athletics...I have LOVED the perseverance, drive, and dedication from Carroll athletes. Speaking specifically about my cheerleaders, regardless of the challenging routines, intimidating stunts, and fast-paced transitions they faced, they ALWAYS pushed and encouraged each other to leave it all on the mat- and shoutout to my girls, that's exactly what they did at the end of our season.
Favorite team or athlete... Boston Red Sox
Little known fact about you...being a military kid I had the opportunity to live in Germany for three years (during high school) so I would say that was pretty cool.
Duncan Blue, Track and Field

DUNCAN BLUE
SPORT : Football, Basketball, Track and Field
FAVORITE MOMENT: When we won the basketball championship and when we beat East Millbrook in football.
HOW HAS SPORTS HELPED YOU: It gave me something to look forward to at the end of the day and motivated me to keep my grades up.
ADVICE: Be coachable.
FUTURE GOALS : I haven't decided yet.
