Carter is preparing for their first league matchup of the season on Thursday. They are taking a road trip to square off against the Notre Dame Titans at 7:00 p.m. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
While Carter didn't have the best season last year (they finished 9-13), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. They came out on top against Valley View by a score of 71-64 on Saturday.

Perhaps the best among them was Treyvon Morales Wise, who shot 45% from the field to rack up 20 points and six rebounds. Another player making a difference was Jawan Dukes, who posted 15 points in addition to five assists and five boards.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Notre Dame). They simply couldn't be stopped on Monday as they easily beat Mesa Grande Academy 84-23. The Titans have beaten the Cardinals the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Cardinals has come to flipping the script.
Carter better focus on containing Jaxon Coduti and Aaron Lewis as the pair were huge in Notre Dame's win. Coduti went 10-for-13 on his way to 24 points along with seven rebounds and five steals, while Lewis shot 40% from the field en route to 20 points in addition to eight boards and eight steals.

Carter strolled past Notre Dame in their previous meeting back in January by a score of 78-63. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Lions since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
