He was also selected to the Nicholls honor society, Phi Kappa Phi and named to the Outstanding College Athletes of America for his work. Majoring in math and health and physical education, Ken was selected to Who's Who while enrolled as a graduate student. He finished his undergraduate studies with a 3.87 grade point average. Off the baseball field, Ken has worked as the minister of music and youth at the University Baptist Church and is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. l think I demonstrated qualities oth- ers liked, he explained concerning his selection, A single student could have as much influence on college as he wantsg there's no limit, Ken said. High grades display both hard work and discipline he believes and college is important in the maturing of a stu- dent to an adult.
