2024 Scholarship Winners
Carson Dever,
HILLIARD BRADLEY HIGH SCHOOL
Carson has bowled for all four years on the boys' varsity team at Hilliard Bradley High School, with two years as captain. He has a high average of 192, a high game of 279, and a high series of 701. Carson also earned his spot on the All-Star High School team for his junior and senior years. As a freshman, Carson was awarded 3rd team All OCC, as a sophomore and junior, he was awarded 2nd team All OCC, as well as the Scholar Athlete Award and team MVP. As a senior, Carson was awarded the Hilliard Optimist Youth Appreciation Award, which he rightfully earned, by having a positive impact on his sport and his community. Outside of bowling, Carson is a member of the National Honor Society, Athletic Leadership Council, and is Hilliard Bradley's school mascot. Carson is an active member of the Scioto Ridge Methodist Church, where he is a part of their visual/production team and volunteers for Vacation Bible School annually. Carson is currently working at his church part-time, as their Director of Communications. He absolutely loves this opportunity and he has grown so much from this job.
Carson plans on attending Temple University, in Philadelphia, where he plans to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree in Audio and Live Entertainment, from the Klein College of Media and Communication. He plans on spending at least one semester to two years abroad at Dublin City University in Ireland. Temple University does have a club bowling team - although Carson wants to adjust to the college lifestyle before joining the team. Upon completing his education, he would like to work as an audio engineer in a live production setting. He'd like to run audio at events such as sports, broadcasts, concerts, or even maybe some PBA events in the future.
Congratulations Carson!

Sadie Bassitt, ST. FRANCIS DESALES HIGH SCHOOL
Sadie has bowled since she was 4 years old and has participated in countless leagues and tournaments. Sadie is a 4-year varsity member and 4-year team captain for the DeSales High School bowling team, with a high average of 178 and a high game of 267. Her personal high series for high school was 472. Sadie has made the All-Star High School Team for the last two years. This award is based on individual averages in each division and is quite an honor to be chosen. She also qualified as an individual for districts in 2024. Off the lanes, Sadie is a member of Concert Choir, Autism Awareness Club, and a Student Ambassador all four years. She is part of the National Honor Society and Spanish National Honors Society for the past two years. Outside of high school bowling, Sadie found success on the lanes. She earned Sequoia's Youth Prepster's Most Improved, Sequoia Varsity Classic Singles Jigh Average, and Sequoia's Youth Prepster's High Average and High Handicap Game. When Sadie is not on the lanes, she likes to spend her free time volunteering and coaching. Sadie has been a coach since early January, 2024, and loves every minute of it. She coaches at Sequoia Pro Bowl for their Saturday morning youth leagues. One of her favorite teams to coach is the one her little sister McKenna is on.
Sadie plans to attend Columbus State Community College in the fall, for the first two years, and then transfer to the Ohio State University, to obtain her Master's in Education and minoring in Psychology. Sadie would like to teach anywhere from 3rd to 8th grade, after she completes her education.
