Tonight, Rick Carpenter ended weeks of speculation by announcing to the parents, players, and boosters of Elkins Baseball that he will not return to the position of head baseball coach. He will be taking the head coaching job at Prosper High School in the Dallas/Ft Worth area.
Coach Carpenter has been at Elkins since Day 1 of the school back in the 1992-1993 school year after coaching at High Island, La Marque, and Dulles High School. Under his leadership and guidance, the Knights have established themselves as one of the premier baseball programs in the city, state, and country.
The Carpenter family (Rick, Tammie, Matt, Tyler, and Caitlin) have all been great to be around and will be sorely missed by all those had the opportunity to get to know them. We send with them our best wishes and hope for nothing but success for them.
