Earlier this fall, the Bellevue Leader published a story on Bellevue East ambidextrous quarterback Mikey Gow.
Unfortunately, the sophomore signal caller’s season was cut short by a broken right wrist on Friday, Sept. 2, in a 42-0 loss to Norfolk.
One month later, his recovery is on schedule and he was recently featured in a Whistle original series “No Days Off” on YouTube as the Chieftains sit at 4-2 heading into their cross-town rivalry game at Bellevue West.
“It means the world to Mikey to be featured on the show,” said Jim Gow, Mikey’s dad. “He’s been a fan for a long time, since he was a kid, so it’s a dream come true.”
The “No Days Off” video has 44,000 views after being published on Whistle’s 2.75-million subscriber channel on Wednesday, Oct. 4.

Mikey’s cast came off and pins (to hold the bone in place) came out of his arm last Thursday.
“It’s all on track and looking good as far as recovery goes. He’s already started physical therapy and working out again,” Jim said.
Jim added that Mikey’s doctor determined the sophomore’s recovery is going well, but “not worth the risk” to return to play.

“Mikey will keep doing whatever he needs to do to support the team,” Jim said.
