Jett Surratt has been there for every step of Carthage's dynasty. Now he gets to quarterback it.

Jett Surratt is used to celebrating with Carthage players on the field after its state championship victories, but the 2022 win over Wimberley was the most special for him. For the first time, he stood with his father, head coach Scott Surratt, in the confetti as a player.

“I’ve seen myself on the jumbotron a lot and I finally got to see it in a jersey,” Jett said. “It was a pretty cool experience.”
