-'''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 (such as a new residence in Lexington, Kentucky, where he helped refound the [[Kentucky]] team). He is probably best known currently as co-owner of [[International Quiz Bowl Tournaments]], which has run [[NASAT]] since 2018.

 Fred's other immense contributions to the community include being the force behind '''[[HSQBRank]]''', a massive, regularly-updating, statistical ranking of high school teams; his work on the '''[[hsquizbowl.org]]''' message boards, where he served as Chief Administrator until June of 2011; and his work on the [[QBWiki]].
 ==Career==
-At Fred's first tournament during his first collegiate "career", VCU's Alpha and Omega Bowl, he scored an astonishing [http://web.archive.org/web/20040815052832/www.hsquizbowl.org/aob_playerdetail.html#p1_3 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 studying and leading of practices for West Virginia high schoolers apparently paid off as he had his highest PPG of his erstwhile college career.
