Carson Howe, a senior at Blanchard High School, stands out not only as a star shortstop and right-handed pitcher but also as a student dedicated to his craft both on and off the field. His journey is marked by perseverance, faith and a deep sense of camaraderie.
“Every morning, I start by reading my Bible. It’s what keeps me consistent,” Carson shared. “It’s not just about me,though. My teammates and I, we’re motivated by coming up one game short in the State Championship. That’s the fire that keeps us going.”
Carson’s parents have been his guiding light. “My parents are my biggest role models. They’ve made so many sacrifices to support my baseball journey. I owe them everything,” he emphasized.
When asked about his daily routine, Carson highlighted the grind. “The daily grind of showing up every day and having a purpose on what you’re working on. The weight-room in the off-season was a big factor for me last year,” he explained. This dedication has clearly paid off, contributing to his success on the field.
Reflecting on his career, Carson’s humility shines through. “The highlight of my career is just being able to go through the process with our group of guys,” he humbly said. Carson also spoke about the competitive spirit within the team. “There’s a lot of dudes on our team, and we compete with each other every day, but I would have to go with Brayson or Aiden,” he said, acknowledging the talent surrounding him.
Looking ahead, Carson sees promise in his teammate Jaxon Heard. “I think Jaxon Heard is going to have a breakout year. He’s in the weight room and hitting barn, getting better every day,” Carson remarked.
Beyond the diamond, Carson is an active member of FCA and the National Honors Society, demonstrating his commitment to both his athletic and academic pursuits. He also expressed gratitude to Bobby Spain, who runs loud contact hitting, for his guidance in refining Carson’s swing.
Lastly, Carson Howe shared the deep significance of representing Blanchard High School. “It means everything when you get to wear the Blanchard across your chest,” he said. “I moved here sophomore year, and one of the mottos we say is ‘tradition never graduates’.”
