Credentials: Carter Cantrelle has a ton of talent packed into his small body. The 6-year-old aspiring basketball player can handle the basketball with both hands and is able to do lots of things that are well beyond the talents of young children his age. But basketball isn’t the only talent in Carter’s bag of tricks. He’s also quite a standout on the baseball diamond, as well. The youngster is the son of Jobie and Megan Cantrelle. He said recently that he doesn’t know his favorite sport just yet, touting that he “loves basketball and baseball all the same.”
