Former Monmouth-Roseville Titan and Bettendorf Bulldog quarterback Carter Bell is set to return to the Monomouth area this Saturday. Bell is currently the leading wide receiver and punt returner for the South Dakota Coyotes. The Coyotes are traveling to Macomb on Saturday for a Missouri-Valley Conference match up against the Western Illinois Fighting Leathernecks. Bell started his career as the starting quarterback for Monmouth-Roseville his freshman year of high school. Bell transferred to Bettendorf High School the following year as his father, Steve Bell, took a football head coaching position at Augustana College. Bell was the head coach at Monmouth during Carter’s freshman year of high school. Bell enjoys being able to lean on his dad for advice throughout the season.
Bell is pleased with the way South Dakota has played this year. He believes the chemistry of the team is at its highest point during his time at the college. Due, in part, to the players accepting their roles within the team and better leadership. After his football career, Bell has his sights set on a career in athletic training. With his Dad currently a college football coach and Mom, Robin, a former high school volleyball coach, Carter is also considering a career in coaching as well.
The South Dakota/Western Illinois football game will kickoff at noon on Saturday at Hanson Field on the WIU campus in Macomb.
