CLINTON — Adams County Christian School senior Coleman Carter represented the Rebels on Monday, May 19, at the 2025 MAIS Class 4A/5A/6A All-Star Game held at Mississippi College and played several positions.
ACCS interim head baseball coach David King said that Carter was the only player from this area to play in that particular All-Star Game, adding that he will be missed not only on the baseball field, but on the AC campus as well.
“Obviously, Coleman’s one of the better and most talented baseball players to come around this area in a while,” King said. “ACCS enjoyed him being a part of the first winning season here in several years. Being able to pitch, hit, and field the way he did (was important). And he’s a great kid.”
Carter said he was excited to be able to play one more game after his high school season ended.
“I found out after the season and I was excited to play. They (his teammates) were happy for me that I got to play one more game,” Carter said.
During All-Star game, Carter played on the Blue Team in left field, at second base, and then came in to close the game and got the save for the winning team. The Blue Team defeated the White Team 10-3.
“We had a bunch of good pitchers on the team, so I didn’t expect to pitch. They asked to pitch the final inning. Had a good defense behind me. I struck out two batters.”
Carter had three at-bats and went 1-for-3 at the plate. His first time up, he hit a fly ball that he said would have been out at any high school field he played at. He added that it’s 390 feet to dead centerfield and he hit it 388 feet for a long flyout. He second at-bat resulted in an RBI and his last at-bat resulted in a groundout.
“I’m going to play college football (at University of Louisiana-Lafayette). But it was fun playing on a college baseball field. They were all throwing 95 miles per hour,” Carter said.
