Dust Bowl 2012

Carter's last game of his middle school career turned out to be quite a memorable one. No, not because of any big hit or play... but because it could have been dubbed the Dust Bowl of 2012. Not kidding. Winds were so high all day and, coupled with the dry conditions around here, it was a literal sand storm at times.
