February 2022 Elite Athletes of the Month
Elite Stone Supply, in conjunction with WBHF and Bartow Sports Zone, presents the ELITE ATHLETES OF THE MONTH. Each month, local high schools are provided the opportunity to name an Elite Athlete of the Month from their varsity programs and present the information on their honoree through Bartow Sports Zone and on 100.3FM and AM1450, WBHF in Cartersville.
Woodland High School’s Elite Athlete of the Month for February is Chase Carson.
A junior on the Wildcats’ football and baseball teams, Carson is a defensive back and quarterback on the football team and plays outfield on the baseball squad.
Through his first six games this season, Carson has a .455 batting average and is slugging .727 with a home run, three doubles, five RBIs and seven stolen bases. “His time in the weight room and competing on the football field has paid off for his fast start this season,” said Woodland baseball coach Matt Montgomery. “He has been the spark at the top of our lineup and has often jump-started our offense.”
The son of Jessica and Brian Carver, Carson would like to continue his education and play college baseball or football.
Claire Davis has been selected as the Elite Athlete of the Month for February representing Cass High School.
A 6-1 senior on the Lady Colonels’ basketball team, she helped lead her team to a region runner-up finish and a final season record of 23-6.
Davis led the team in scoring, rebounds, and blocked shots.
“Claire has a deep passion and love for the game, her teammates, and her team,” noted Cass head coach Burt Jackson. “She has unlimited potential and continues to work at becoming the best player she can be. She has numerous D1 and D2 offers and will make a final decision on where she wants to continue her education and play basketball in April.”
The daughter of Rachel Davis and sister of Reed and Andi Davis, Claire has a 3.75 GPA enrolled in Honors classes.
Victoria Loudon is the February 2022 Elite Athlete of the Month representing Adairsville High School.
The daughter of Karen and Josh Loudon, Victoria is a freshman on the Lady Tigers soccer team playing midfield and on the Adairsville defense.
“Victoria is a model young athlete,” said Lady Tigers head coach David Sexauer. “She represents her high school with pride on and off the field. She is focused and determined on the field and gets the most out of her abilities by staying in great shape. She often has success late in games when other athletes are tiring. Victoria is a great teammate off the field too. She remains positive and supportive and has her teammates’ respect.” “Victoria is always looking to improve,” added assistant coach Amanda Jones. “No matter her position on the field, she wants to be the best she can be. She continues to impress each practice and game.”
Cartersville High School’s February Elite Athlete of the Month is Elora Waterman. A senior wrestler, Waterman placed fourth this season at the GHSA State Championships in the 102-pound division.
“Elora has been a great asset to our team,” said Cartersville girls coach Mark Mathison. “Her leadership and drive to compete is second to none. I probably learned more from her this year than she did from me. It was a great pleasure to serve as her coach.”
Waterman has been a multinational All-American wrestler the last two years. In her fifth year as a wrestler, she held a 12-6 record this season against boys competing in the 106-pound division.
The daughter of Tiffany and Jeremy Waterman, Elora will be an honor graduate and will continue her education at Brewton Parker College where she will receive a wrestling scholarship.
