University of Mount Olive

Darwin Carr, a 1988 graduate, earned Mount Olive College Male Athlete of the Year honors in both his junior and senior years. An all-conference and all-district selection, Carr averaged 16.6 points per game as a sophomore and 21.6 points per contest as a junior. He helped lead Mount Olive to a pair of 19-win seasons, a school record at that time. Carr has the distinction of playing on Mount Olive’s last junior college team and first-ever four-year college team. After enrolling at Mount Olive while it was still a two-year college, Carr became one of the first to earn a four-year degree at Mount Olive.

Carr has been a principal’s assistant at an elementary school in Troy, N.Y. Previously, he spent 10 years as assistant director of athletics and head boys’ varsity high school basketball coach at Berkshire Farms in Upstate New York, a non-profit residential facility for at-risk youth. Carr helped lead the team to three section titles and to one regional final. In 2003, Carr and his team were featured on the ESPN television show “Outside The Lines.”
