Bowling may not receive the same national attention that many of its sporting brethren do, but the pastime is still among the most popular in the nation.
High-school bowling has followed that trend, and the Elberta Warriors have a phenom who’s currently tearing up the lanes.
During his team’s first game of the season against Dothan last Tuesday, Sawyer Morrow paced his side with a personal-record score of 240, and his efforts earned him Gulf Coast Media’s latest Athlete of the Week honor after public voting concluded Tuesday evening.
Morrow has been bowling for two years now and plays on the team alongside a pair of his cousins. The junior is a multi-sport athlete as well, as he suits up for the Elberta cross-country, track and football teams.
As an aside, I’d also like to imagine that Morrow yelled out Pete Weber’s classic “Who do you think you are? I am!” when he was done with his record-setting game.
Our other nominees for the week include Orange Beach tight end/defensive end Lee Steele, Gulf Shores swimmer Ally Midkiff and Bayshore Christian runner Henry Barber.
Be sure to check back here Monday at noon to cast your vote in GCM’s next Athlete of the Week ballot!
And if you would like to nominate an athlete for this weekly polling, email parker@gulfcoastmedia.com or message our social media pages (@GCMSportsAL) with information on their accomplishments, applicable personal info (grade, position, etc.) and a photo(s).
With that being said, GCM is also always happy to share any other local sports content from Baldwin County. To any coach, parent or athlete, feel free to send over any written work, photos or videos through the same mediums.
