Posted By: Kenyana Madison on July 23, 2008 The Harris-Stowe State University Men’s Baseball Team was recognized by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) as a Scholar Team for the 2007-08 season. The award recognizes teams across the country that have earned a collective grade point average (GPA) of at least a 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) during the 2007-08 academic year. Harris-Stowe’s team GPA was a 3.09, which allowed them to become one of 18 baseball teams to achieve this honor. Previously, 18 student-athletes on the Harris-Stowe Baseball Team were awarded with American Midwest Conference (AMC) All-Academic honors given to student-athletes that have earned an individual GPA of at least a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. 5/05/08-- Hornets Well-Represented in AMC Postseason Honors The Harris-Stowe Men’s Baseball Team had a number of athletes take home American Midwest Conference (AMC) postseason honors.
