ATHLETICS
The Carmi Bulldogs were competitive in a number of sports, including baseball, basketball, football, cross-country, golf, gymnastics, tennis, track, and wrestling for the boys, while the girls competed in basketball, golf, softball, tennis, track, and volleyball. We are uncertain of their conference affiliations, so we are asking for some assistance from someone who may know what conferences the Bulldogs played in prior to their consolidation with Crossville. Here’s a look back at Carmi athletic history, courtesy of the IHSA (www.ihsa.org).
BOYS BASEBALL
The boys of spring at Carmi were successful on the diamond, taking one district title along with five regional championships, one sectional plaque, and qualified for the state class A tournament in its final year of existance.

Shroyer also went on to coach at Millikin and Southern Illinois.
