Carroll Senior High School (Southlake, Texas)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carroll Senior High School is a public secondary school in Southlake, Texas. It is located at 1501 W. Southlake Blvd. Carroll Senior High opened in 1993. The High School before 1993 was located at what is now Carroll Middle School, on the northside of Southlake. It was renovated and freed of asbestos in 2000. Carroll Middle School is also the location of the old Dragon Stadium which has a history of itself. Before the 2002 school year, Carroll Senior High was the home campus for all high school grade levels and was called Carroll High School. Carroll Junior High School was restructured into the High School to hold only 9th and 10th graders at the close of the 01-02 school year. The High School at the time, is now Carroll Senior High. Dr. Daniel Presley is currently the Principal of the Senior High with Rick Westfall being the principal at the High School at 800 N. White Chapel Blvd. which houses Freshmen and Sophomores. The Senior High is part of the Carroll Independent School District. It is recognized nation-wide because of its very successful football program, winning seven state championships, including four of the last five state titles in Class 5A (the class featuring the state's largest high schools). Several games have been televised nationally by Fox Sports Net, which has also caused controversy.^[1]

In their 44-season history, Carroll's UIL varsity has produced an all-time record of 398-126-8. Carroll has been particularly impressive in the last 20 seasons, winning seven state titles in eight championship game appearances. Carroll's record the last 20 seasons is 244-39-1, including a state-record 72-game regular-season winning streak from 1986 to 1993 under coach Bob Ledbetter. In 2000 former Texas quarterback Todd Dodge replaced Tom Rapp, who followed the retiring Ledbetter in 1996. In seven seasons, Dodge guided the Dragons to a 98-11 record (including a 79-1 record and four state championships since moving up to Class AAAAA), before leaving Carroll for the University of North Texas in 2006.^[2] His successor will be Hal Wasson, who – like Dodge – coached at Fossil Ridge High School in Keller, Texas.^[3]

Carroll has won its third consecutive 5A state title in 2006, making it only the second school to “three-peat” in the 5A class (Lee High School of Midland, Texas did it 1998-2000). In the national televised title game, they beat Westlake High School of Austin, Texas, 43-29 for their 48th consecutive win.^[4] With eight starters back on offense, including running back Tré Newton (2,010 rushing yards, 20 TDs) and AP's 2006 5A state offensive player of the year Riley Dodge (4,184 passing yards, 54 TDs; 1,119 rushing yards, 13 TDs) at quarterback, Carroll aims for another 5A state title in 2007.^[5] Both Newton and Dodge accepted a scholarship offer by the University of Texas on February 25, 2007.
