Notes: Carver was one of the few in its area who had a gym, thus it hosted several state tournaments. Their gym was also convenient enough for Atkinson County Training to play home games there until they got a gym of their very own. Did not play football in 1969 and also had a hiatus from the sport for a least of a couple of years in the 1950s.
