8 ALL AROUND WISE, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, June 11, 2009 BUSINESS BRIDGEPORT Brian Carpenter named top doc By DENNY DEADY What would make an outstanding scholar, band member, and athlete who played just about every sport but football for his high school want to walk on at a Division I university and think he had a chance to make the football team For Brian Carpenter of Bridgeport, now a successful Wise County podiatrist, it was all about the challenge. Challenges have defined his life. They have made him stronger, made him appreciate the dawning of each new day and in the case of football, changed the course of his life. After graduating from Bridgeport High School in 1985, he headed for Texas A&M University, following in the footsteps of his dad, Bob, who had been a yell leader there. He joined the Corps and the band and then decided to try out for head coach Jackie Sherrill’s 12th Man kickoff team. Sherrill created the volunteer team as a means to connect the student body with the football team and honor the longstanding 12th Man tradition. Most of the students who tried out for the team were Friday night heroes from small towns who were not considered good enough to play college ball. They longed to extend their gridiron careers even if it meant serving as tackling dummies for the scholarship athletes. All Carpenter could see was a challenge and the opportunity to make history. He was among the select few who made the kickoff team and ended up playing four years for Coach Sherrill. “It was an absolutely unbelievable experience,” said Carpenter. After a stellar academic career at Bridgeport High School, Carpenter planned to become a veterinarian at A&M. When his cleat got caught in the artificial turf during football practice, his ankle turned and with it his career. Like his teammates on the kickoff team, he was willing to play with pain rather than risk being cut. He sought out a podiatrist who made a special boot for his ankle. That College Station doctor talked to him about podiatry and how the profession doesn’t require on-call duties, allowing for family time. Today, Dr. Brian Carpenter has returned to his hometown. He has recently been named one of the 2009 Top Doctors by Forth Worth, Texas: The City’s Magazie, the fifth consecutive year that he has been recognized with the honor in a vote by his peers through the Tarrant County Medical Society. Carpenter is in practice at North Central Texas Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine in Decatur and the John Peter Smith Hospital Department of Orthopaedics in Fort Worth. “Working with the indigent (at John Peter Smith) is rewarding, an opportunity to give back,” Carpenter said.

The podiatrist has received the honor for five consecutive years. He and his wife, Mollie, have three children, Cole, 7, Carson, 5 and Lindie, 1. Not only did football play a role in Carpenter’s career choice, but it also introduced him to the love of his life, his wife Mollie. “A fellow football player was married to Mollie’s sister,” Carpenter explained. Mollie earned a degree in speech pathology from the University of North Texas, and they were married a year after being introduced. They celebrated eight years of marriage on New Continued on page 10 WISE COUNTY DIRECTORY of Area Churches www.wcmessenger.com/church www.northtxbank.com HOMETOWN LENDING AT ITS BEST COMPETITIVE RATES & FLEXIBLE TERMS •New Home & Office Construction Loans •Lot, Land & Investment Real-Estate Loans •Home Mortgages and Home-Improvement Loans Voted “BEST PLACE TO GET A LOAN” in Wise County 940.627.8767 Wise County’s Hometown Bank 661 W.

ALL AROUND WISE, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, June 11, 2009 9 CROSSWORD PUZZLE Presented by Amanda P. Lovette, M.D. and Staff Board Certified in General Pediatrics CELEBRATING SAFE Teenagers worry about who’ll ask them to the prom, who’ll say yes, and what they’ll wear. For parents, their worries differ. For both, a little planning goes a long way. Statistics show that fatal car accidents are higher during prom weekends. Send revelers to the prom in style and hire a limo. Offer to help offset the cost or recommend that teens carpool and share the price. If they are not planning to return home right after the prom, make it clear that teens must be reachable by cell phone and know where they are going. Emphasize that, just in case, you are willing to arrange for a safe—and discreet—ride home no matter what time of night.
