“I am looking forward to Alex becoming part of the team this fall,” said MVNU golf coach Mark Stiverson. “He brings high energy in areas of enthusiasm and desire. I believe he has the right skill set to not only challenge the starters, but to also compete right with them. It will be exciting to see him develop into a very fine team player.”

In addition to playing golf at Licking Valley, Carroll was inducted into National Honor Society and received the Archie Griffin Sportsmanship Award and was named Academic All-Ohio as a senior. He served as the junior class treasurer and for two years as the student council secretary. He was a four-year member of the Spanish club including serving as the president as a senior, and he was also a four-year member of the Leo club and served as the secretary as a senior. He was also a Renaissance staff member for two years.

“There are several reasons why I chose MVNU,” said Carroll of his college choice. “It has great academics, an awesome golf program, and a well-respected and reputable Christian atmosphere. MVNU will also provide me opportunities to grow academically, spiritually, and athletically.”

The MVNU golf program finished the 2006-2007 campaign with a 65-47-4 overall record. The Cougars also finished sixth in the American Mideast Conference/NAIA Region IX Tournament.
