“Alton High School would like to thank coach Carter for his leadership over the softball program for the past 24 years,” Alton High athletic director Chris Kusnerick said in a press release announcing his resignation, “with a total of 32 years coaching Redbirds softball.”
The Redbirds went 10-14 during the 2024 season, losing in the Class 4A regional to Belleville West at Edwardsville 4-2.
Carter will continue to be girls volleyball and softball coach at Alton Middle School, and a search for a new coach will begin in the fall.
“The position will be posted early in the fall,” Kusnerick said in the press release, “and the plan is having a new coach hired this fall, so they can map out the plans for the program, and implement their plan of action moving forward with the Redbird softball program.”
