Injured Brewer soccer player returns in time for playoff push

When Gavin Carr suffered a broken collarbone during Brewer High School’s boys soccer match against Skowhegan nearly a month ago he was left with two options. One was to undergo surgery that likely would enable him to return to action before the end of the regular season after three weeks of recuperation. The second was to let the injury heal on its own, which would not allow him to resume competition until basketball season. For Carr, who had helped the Witches get off to a solid start this fall with a team-leading seven goals in Brewer’s first four matches, the decision to undergo surgery was a no-brainer. “The main factor was that I did want to play soccer this season, and my parents left the choice up to me because they understood what it meant to me,” Carr said. The Witches struggled offensively during his absence, but the junior forward’s return not only has sparked the team’s goal-scoring frequency, but also has renewed its hope to qualify for the Class A North playoffs. In his second match back since returning to game action late last week, Carr scored twice Tuesday night as Brewer defeated Bangor 4-0 on Senior Night at Doyle Field for the Witches’ first victory over its cross-river rival in recent memory. “This was my first Bangor-Brewer soccer game,” Carr said.
