Four Braves Earn MVC Scholar Athlete Honors

Two days after leading the conference with three All-Missouri Valley Conference selections, the Bradley men's basketball team duplicated the feat in the classroom as the Braves led all teams with four selections to the MVC Scholar-Athlete Teams.

Senior Nate Kennell was named to the league's first team, while senior Koch Bar and junior Elijah Childs both collected second-team accolades. Additionally, sophomore Ja'Shon Henry received honorable mention to the academic team.

Earning second-team scholar-athlete accolades the last two seasons, Kennell is a first-team honoree after scoring a career-best 12.
