Williams brings EP its first Carr Trophy

M.C. Williams was awarded the Carr Trophy on Wednesday as the best football athlete from the SEMO Conference, a first for East Prairie in the award's 30 years.

Williams led the SEMO Conference in rushing yards with 2,116, second only to Brandon Bourbon of Potosi, who led Southeast Missouri with 2,411 yards.

It's a strong finish for Williams after the team's unlikely loss to Malden in Week 10 nixed a shot at the playoffs.

Congratulations to M C Williams. He's a good kid and comes from a good family. Extended family is loaded with athletes, i.e. DD Gillespie, Frankie Ellis, Dominitrex Johnson, Paul and Nick Johnson....all these young men being cousins.

Is Caleb Johnson a cousin, too?

What a family basketball team they could field!

Melvin Johnson in Bell City is a cousin, too, I believe.
