FAMU Bowling coach Sheila Martin was the guest chef today on the Morning Show on WCTV Channel 6 in Tallahassee. Martin cooked up a dish she called “Cherry Delight.” The tasty snack featured marshmallows, cherries, cherry sauce and whipped cream.When asked why she chose the dish, Martin replied, “It was the first thing my mother ever taught me how to make.” The three-minute segment on WCTV invites local figures to share their recipes, which are later posted to the Website for public consumption. Former guests include Joe Bullard (WHBX/Marching “100), Dr. Otis Kirksey (FAMU School of Pharmacy), Ernie Sims (Detroit Lions), and Tammy Hartsfield (American Red Cross).
Martin has been the bowling coach at FAMU for three years. In that time she has led the team to heights unseen. Last season’s squad attained the first-ever national ranking, ending the season as the No. 17 team in the Ten Pin national bowling poll. With a strong team of returning kegglers, the Rattlers are currently ranked No.18 in the Ten Pin poll.
The Lady Rattlers will host the MEAC Southern Division bowling championship on Jan. 8-9, on the FAMU campus at the Galimore Lanes. The Lady Rattlers are the defending MEAC Southern Division champions.
