Justin Carpenter is the new head boys basketball coach at Mt. Carmel High School. Carpenter was unanimously hired by the Wabash District #348 school board during a special meeting yesterday afternoon at the district office. Carpenter takes over for Tyler Buss who resigned unexpectedly in July. Carpenter was an assistant last year on Buss’s staff and was an Aces star as a player helping lead Mt. Carmel to a second place finish in the Class 2A state finals in 2017. He was an honorable mention Class 2A all-state selection his senior year. When the Aces open the 2023-24 the day after Thanksgiving, Carpenter will be the youngest boys head basketball coach ever at MCHS.
