Fred Morlan is probably the best known West Virginian in the wider world of quizbowl. He played in college for West Virginia Wesleyan as well as in high school, and has since gone on to greater things.
Undoubtedly, Fred's greatest contribution to the community has been his work on the hsquizbowl.org message boards, where he serves as Chief Administrator.
At Fred's first tournament during his first collegiate "career", VCU's Alpha and Omega Bowl, he scored an astonishing 2 points per game by vulturing a science question ending with the words "alpha and beta." His bringing a laptop for Matt Weiner to track stats on was the greater contribution to quiz bowl history.
Fred recently returned to play VCU Open 2009 and the Tommy and Cameron Open. His recent studying and leading of practices for West Virginia high schoolers apparently paid off as he had his highest PPG of his short-lived college career.
Fred served as president of the Partnership for Academic Competition Excellence for the 2009-10 season.
For the 2010-2011 season, Fred is publishing a ranking of the top 100 teams.
