Events open at 8 a.m. and continue to noon at the park, concluding with

Children 12 and under will be admitted to the park free; adults and

Kemp’s coach and ‘Teacher of Year’
heads to Athens ISD
Monitor Staff Reports
ATHENS–Kemp’s loss is Athens’ gain.
Head basketball coach Tracy Carter leaves Kemp after four years to coach
at Athens High School.
He was one out of 85 applicants who sought the job.
The transfer became official May 17 during Athens ISD board meeting.
Athletic director Dan Hamrick said he chose Tracy because he’s a proven
winner.
“We’re very excited to get someone of Tracy’s caliber,” Hamrick told The
Athens Review. “He’s a proven winner.”
During Carter’s leadership, the Yellowjackets went 79-49 and made the
playoffs four times.
Before that the boys basketball program had won a total of five games
the previous three seasons.
His first year, he led the team to its first playoff game in 40 years.
The following year, Kemp was unbeaten in the district and captured its
first playoff win in school history.
This past season Kemp clinched a second district title and again made
school history moving into Region II-AAA semifinals.
Carter also taught physical education and biology at Kemp.
He was named Kemp High School and district Teacher of the Year, April
17.
“Kemp ISD has been good to me,” Carter told The Monitor. “And I
appreciate the community support that was given me during my time there.
“I really enjoyed the kids in the classroom and in athletics, I wish
only the best of luck.”
