Off the field, Alana is an excellent student who brings the same focus and work ethic to the classroom as she does to the game.
TEAGAN ZAKRZEWSKI
Senior captain, running back, and linebacker Teagan Zakrzewski has been a dominant two-way player for Carver Football. His toughness, effort, and leadership set the tone for the entire team.

HUNTER THOMAS
Hunter works tirelessly as one of our starting outside midfielders who constantly is running box to box. He has to work on both ends of the field by defending for us, and then creating offense on the opposite end. This week he was able to secure a hat-trick for us and put in a solid all around performance to help us get the win.
COLIN EAKINS
Colin Eakins on Friday night had 8 catches, 156 yards receiving and 2 touchdown receptions while also having 7 carries and 35 yards rushing on the ground. In the last 4 games he has 27 catches, 534 yards receiving and 5 touchdown catches. Whether making key catches on offense or locking down opponents on defense, he continues to be a dependable leader and competitor every week.

TARYN BARKOWSKY
Taryn is an exceptional leader and a true example of dedication and hard work. In her second season as captain, she continues to set the standard for excellence through her strong work ethic, passion, and competitive skill set.
