Casey Morrow to play golf at Bucknell
ADAMS TWP — Like father, like daughter.
That's how Casey Morrow learned to play golf. The Shady Side Academy senior and Adams Township resident has been producing high-quality play for quite a while now.
“I started playing when I was 8 years old,” Morrow said. “My dad was a golfer and I wanted to learn, so I started playing with him.”
He must have been a good teacher.
Morrow wound up being the No. 1 golfer in Shady Side Academy's lineup throughout her four-year prep career. She was named team MVP in three of those four years.
Team captain since her sophomore year, Morrow led the Indians to the PIAA championship last fall, upsetting North Allegheny at that tournament.
“We only have about 500 kids in our school, but we've got a strong golf team, so we play up (in the bigger school classification),” Morrow said. “Winning that state title was pretty exhilirating.
“We were heavy underdogs at the state meet. It was a great way to end the season.”
But Morrow's golf career is far from over.
Carrying a 3.8 grade point average, she recently accepted a scholarship to play at Bucknell University. Morrow plans to major in biology there.
