Stebbins’ Carter keeps rolin’, rollin’, rollin’
STEBBINS’ PIN PUNISHER
SMASHES ALL BARRIERS
Congratulations to Stebbins High School’s Chase Carter, who was named the 2009 Ohio Magazine High School Bowler of the Year.
The honor came after he captured the boys individual title at the state bowling championships with a 723 series.
Did you know …
He’s diabetic, forced to give himself at least seven insulin injections a day.
He’s hearing impaired with 100 percent hearing loss in his right ear.
Chase Carter is also the 2009 Boys State Bowling champion.
The Stebbins High School junior smashed through every obstacle on Saturday, March 7, when he rolled games of 223, 243 and 257 for a 723 series and the boys individual title at the OHSAA State Bowling Championships at Tiki Lanes in Lancaster.
“He got a standing ovation at the awards ceremony,” Stebbins coach Don Brown said. “That’s how much he’s respected.”
The first of Carter’s three ear surgeries came when he was in the fifth grade. He had surgery again in sixth grade, and another three days after his freshman bowling season. He was diagnosed with diabetes in the sixth grade.
“It was one thing after another,” he said. “It was a big life change. Now I’ve dealt with it and just live life the best I can.”
Carter said collegiate bowling “has been a goal since my freshman year. Bowling is so much fun. I love the atmosphere. I love the cheering. I love being part of a team that’s real competitive.”
Wright State, Urbana and Pikeville (Ky.) College are among the suitors that are lining up.
