Individuals with the Powell County Bowling Team participated recently in a fundraiser to assist with the funeral bills of a fellow bowler. Hayden Saylor, a member of the George Rogers Clark Bowling Team in Winchester, who recently passed away in a tragic motorcycle accident. Saylor was a sophomore at GRC and was Clark County’s top bowler.
Student bowlers from Madison County, Clark County, Powell County, and as far away as Johnson County gathered at Galaxy Bowling Lanes in Richmond to bowl, remember Hayden and raise funds to assist the family with funeral expenses.
Alan Soliday, a member of Powell County’s Bowling Team, said, “Hayden Saylor was a great bowler and a good friend. I will always remember the many practices and games we shared together.”
Assistant GRC Bowling coach Glen Howard said, “Hayden was on a path to greatness. He will be missed.” Powell County Bowling mom Nancy Barnes added, “As a Bowling mom, you become attached to the kids and the sport. Hayden was an outstanding young man. He was truly a bright spot on the alleys. Looking ahead into the upcoming season, Hayden will be greatly missed.”
While all teams bowl to win, there are some times when camaraderie transcends the concept of team. A true brotherhood exists on the bowling lanes.
