Kendrick Perry Named Senior CLASS Award Candidate

Overland Park, Kan. -- Youngstown State senior guard Kendrick Perry has been named one of 60 men's and women's basketball student-athletes selected as candidates for the 2013-14 Senior CLASS Award.

Perry, the 2013-14 Horizon League Preseason Player of the Year, is a two-time Horizon League First-Team pick and a two-time Bob Cousy Award Watch List selection. Perry averagd 17.3 points per game last season and ranks 17th all-time at Youngstown State with 1,309 career points.

To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition. The complete list of candidates follows this release.

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School ®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.

Of the 60 candidates, 20 have grade point averages of 3.5 or higher. There are eight CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-Americans® and seven returning All-Americans. Twenty-four of the 32 NCAA Division I basketball-playing conferences are represented as well.

The Senior CLASS Award winners will be announced during the 2014 NCAA Men's Final Four® and NCAA Women's Final Four®.

Each of the 30 candidate classes will be narrowed to 10 finalists midway through the regular season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one male candidate and one female candidate who best exemplify excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.
