I am so proud and honored to be Chase Carroll’s mother. God has blessed me and my family in so many ways!!! I know Chase’s Dad, who went to heaven 11 years ago would be so very proud of his amazing son, not just because of his hard work in sports and the classroom, but for being the Christian young man he has grown up to be. Thank you William at North Escambia for your wonderful articles and dedication to our community. Thanks you Michelle for your sweet and kind words. Thank you Mrs. Varner, you are and will always be Chase’s favorite teacher and person, you are always in my prayers. I also want to thank PSA and COX for a wonderful banquet last night, job well done!!!
Congratulations, Chase! You have worked hard for this honor and have, in all things, always given the glory to God. I am blessed to have been your teacher.
Awesome young man from an AMAZING family!!!!! So proud and happy for y’all! Also very proud of Zach Price. He too is a great young man and has a great family! One thing about these two young men (besides being from Tate High School) is that they live their lives as a Christian. Only good things can happen when someone lives with a serving heart and loves God first!!! Congrats to these young men and their families!!!!
