Michael Carter has resigned as baseball coach at Polk County to accept the same position at Franklin County.
“This is an opportunity professionally that I had to take. It’s tough to leave Polk County, but I’m excited about going to Franklin County,” Carter said.
He was an assistant to Bill Triplett for three seasons before taking over as head coach the past two seasons, when he compiled a 35-29 record.
“We had some good runs. This past year is the only year in my time here we didn’t make the region,” Carter said.
The Wildcats finished first in District 5-AA two years ago and were runners-up this past season.
