MUNCIE, IN—Woof Boom Radio is happy to announce the winners for the 10th Annual Morry Mannies Woof Boom Radio Scholarship. We want to congratulate each of the nominees for their achievements this season and overall career as student-athletes. We have awarded $34,200 to 34 student-athletes in the last ten years.
Woof Boom Radio funds a scholarship program for athletes from the schools we cover each year, be it through WMUN “The Talk of Muncie” or on Oldies 101.1 WHBU. Athletic Directors from these schools send their nominations, and an independent committee chooses the winners based on leadership in sports and the classroom.
Allie Clark, Alexandria-Monroe High School, has been awarded this year’s Female Madison County Morry Mannies Woof Boom Radio Scholarship. Athletic Director Mickey Hosier says Allie “represents everything good about Alexandria.” She is an all-conference tennis and volleyball athlete. As a student, she is involved in the National Honor Society and is in the Top 25 of her senior class. Allie is a high-energy, highly enthusiastic student-athlete. She has natural leadership abilities, which are shown in the classroom and on the athletic field.
Anson Isaacs, Yorktown High School, has been awarded this year’s Male Delaware County Morry Mannies Woof Boom Radio Scholarship. Athletic Director Paul Heidenreich says Anson “is a young man of high moral character and is always willing to help others.” In tennis, he is a four-year letter winner, team captain, academic all-conference, youth coach, Indiana Tennis All-Star, and Sectional Champion. He also played basketball and baseball. As a student, he has over a 4.0 GPA and is in the Top 10 of his senior class. Anson is extremely humble, always smiling, and willing to lift people up.

He is a 2024 Academic Hall of Fame and Spanish Honor Society Inductee and a member of the National Honor Society and Best Buddies. Nate makes everyone around him better because of his approach to practice, games, and life.
