Vinita’s Denton Bowlin – Athlete Spotlight – Presented by Welch State Bank – Vinita

Denton Bowlin

Vinita High School

The starting running back for the Vinita Hornets, Denton Bowlin is looking forward to his final season of prep football. Bowlin has shown he can be a game breaker for the Hornets and is exciting to watch. The senior said there are many things about playing football that he loves.

“My favorite party of playing football has to be running the ball and shattering people’s ankles, but as a whole I just enjoy being on a team with a bunch of guys who are like family to me. Vinita is a great place to be a student-athlete because of the great community and excellent school and coaching staff,” said Bowlin.

His career as a student-athlete really started in middle school and with a different sport.

“I began playing sports in middle school and basketball was my favorite until I started playing football and ran my first touchdown in eighth grade,” said Bowlin.

Bowlin pointed to several of his teammates who he expects to have great seasons.

“A few of my teammates that I think should be looked are Devon Morgan, Gunner Huffman, Jett Ogdon, Bo Bennett, Bodee Carter, Ethan Stephens, Zaden Nowlin, and Peyton Ayres. I’m most excited about getting to go out and perform as a senior and play in some big games with our new coaching staff. I’m excited to play Jay, Pawhuska, and Claremore Sequoyah,” said Bowlin.

In the classroom, Bowlin is a member of National Honor Society and said he enjoys all of his classes.

“I wouldn’t say I have a specific favorite subject or teacher because I get along with and enjoyed almost every class and subject I’ve taken at Vinita High School, but I will say my English teacher Mrs. Stecklein, my math teacher, Mrs. Sooter, and my science teacher Mrs. Kennedy really helped me become an outstanding student in the classroom,” said Bowlin.

After he graduates from high school, Bowlin said he plans to attend college on academic scholarships to pursue a degree in business management.
