WINONA LAKE – Two members of Grace’s baseball team were recognized for their excellence in the classroom.

David Anderson and Houston Haney were both honored as NCCAA Scholar Athletes. To achieve that status, student-athletes must reach upperclassman status and have a GPA of at least 3.40.

Additionally, Anderson picked up an individual honor when he was named to the CoSIDA All-District Team. CoSIDA recognizes student-athletes for both academic and athletic achievements.

Anderson, who graduated this month, finished his career ranked No. 6 all-time in career batting average (.343) and No. 9 in career strikeouts (130).

Haney posted a 3.46 ERA in the COVID-shortened 2020 season. He had 22 strikeouts in 26 innings pitched. The junior also batted .294 from the plate.
