A junior wrestler with two Cobb County and Region Championships already on his resume, Carter has also won two State medals, including a 6A runner-up last season. He recently won his 100th match and is chasing the school record of 180 career wins. In youth wrestling, he was a four-time State Medalist (4th, 2nd, 2nd, 1st). He is a leader on the mat and in the classroom. He is a Team Captain for the Trojans while maintaining an impressive 4.44 GPA with five AP classes this semester.
"Carter has been around the Lassiter Wrestling program for 11 years now," said his coach (and dad) Matt Brickley. "He’s put so much time and energy into the program and has had a huge part in shaping what we have now. He’s also a Varsity Lacrosse player, member of Student Council, and belongs to the Shelter Club, which is dedicated to helping animals. His ultimate goal is to be a veterinarian; he has loved animals his entire life and wants to be able to help them as much as possible."
"He does a great job as part of the leadership group on the team and leads by example. Around school, he’s well-liked and has a very good friend group. He really is a fantastic student, team leader, and friend. I might be a bit biased, but he’s just a really easy kid to have. He sets his own goals, his own work/study/sports schedule without much, if any, push at all. His mom Kelly, brother Jax, and I are super proud of him!"
