Ed is an assistant Varsity coach with the Franklin Regional baseball program as
well as the Head Junior Varsity coach. In 2006, his Junior Varsity team finished
with an 18-1 record. That summer, the Murrysville Junior Legion team
consisting of many of his J.V. players went on to finish 2nd in the state amongst
Junior Legion programs. That same summer, Carr joined Coach Wayman as
assistant coach with the Murrysville American Legion team, which claimed a
District Title. Before joining F.R. in 2003, Ed worked as an assistant for two years
with the State College High School program, where the Little Lions won
back-to-back league and District titles, and reached the State Quarterfinals in
two consecutive years.
Besides working as a high school coach, Ed has been an individual instructor

All-Stars in 2000 and 2001. S.C. American was the Pennsylvania state runners
up in 2000, and Pennsylvania, and Mid-Atlantic Region Champions in 2001. The
only setback for the team in 2001 was a 2-0 loss on ESPN2 to the now infamous
Danny Almonte and the Bronx, NY team. With a win in that game, S.C. would have
earned a spot in the Little League World Series. Soon after the World Series,
the NY team was found to have players of illegal age and was stripped of all their
winnings. S.C. American was honored at Williamsport during the 2002 Little
League World Series, and was the subject of many national news articles and
specials.
