Carson Gue, a 17-year-old senior at Cabell Midland High School, is making waves both on and off the football field. Carson lives in Culloden with his parents, Todd Gue and Jessica Edwards. He also has an older brother, Ben Gue, who is 21 and currently attending Marshall University through the Army National Guard.

From a young age, Carson was drawn to football,  "Football gave me a brotherhood like no other," Carson shared. He has been playing football for 12 years and has developed a deep passion for the game, particularly for his position as an outside linebacker.

Carson's favorite aspect of his team is their collective toughness and determination. "Our aggression to get the job done is incomparable. I love how tough the entire team is," he remarked.

His hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed. Carson has earned All-MSAC Conference honors, a testament to his skills and contributions to the team. Through football, Carson has learned valuable life lessons about resilience and positivity. "This sport has taught me that whatever life throws at you, you can always turn it into something positive. It has also made me very disciplined," he shared with Stroll Barboursville.

Among his many memorable moments on the field, one stands out the most. "Easily my favorite moment is when we beat Huntington last year. Everyone had doubted us because we had just been upset by them. This was a huge turning point in the season," Carson recalled.

When asked about his favorite coach, Carson responded, “Coach Luke Salmons because he physically and mentally broke me to mold me into the person I am today.”

As far as the game this season Carson is most looking forward to, “Week one versus Ironton. Everyone will be doubting us now that Coach Salmons has moved on, but we are still ready, and Midland football always will be.”

Looking ahead, Carson plans to continue his football career at the college level and aims to become a nurse. His dedication to both his sport and future career is inspiring. For those looking to get into football, Carson has some sage advice: "This sport will turn you into a good person all around. No matter how much work you put in, it is never enough. Never be satisfied with how you are doing. The beauty of football is that it is never over until you mentally tell yourself that it is over."

Carson's journey in football is a testament to his hard work, determination, and the strong support system provided by his family and coaches. As he prepares to take on new challenges, both on the field and in his future career, there is no doubt that Carson will continue to excel and inspire those around him.

 We will be rooting for Carson and his teammates as they hope to put together a championship season.

Go Knights!
