During his time at Shawnee State, Sturgell collected nine individual tournament wins -- the most in program history -- and was a three-time first-team all-conference selection.

His lowest single round score was a 63, and his average round score was 76.9.

He was a member of the 1997 conference championship team, the same team to earn the program's only bid to the NAIA National Championships.

Sturgell became the first bowling coach in Shawnee State history in 2017.

Sturgell has a long history with bowling, having rolled 60 career 300 games and over 30 800 series. Sturgell was the president of the Portsmouth Men’s Bowling Association from 2013-2017, and is widely considered one of the most influential members of the bowling community in Portsmouth.

Sturgell was named to the Portsmouth Men’s Bowling Hall of Fame in 2016.
