Murray State men's basketball student-athlete Quincy Anderson was honored by the Missouri Valley Conference with the 2024 State Farm MVC Good Neighbor Award.
Â
Twelve exceptional student-athletes, one from each school in The Valley, were announced by MVC Commissioner Jeff Jackson.
Â
Anderson, who just finished his career with the Racers this month, was honored for high marks in the class room and part in Murray State Athletics' community service efforts.
Â
From Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Anderson has a 3.88 GPA in the Murray State MBA program and he was also a MVC Commissioner's Academic Excellence Award winner (2022-23) and a two-time winner of the MVC Men's Basketball Scholar-Athlete Team (2023 & 2024).
Â
The community service projects Anderson was involved in with his teammates included: Racers Read Program, Soup for the Soul, Murray-Calloway Need Line, Murray- Calloway County Park Clean-up and Max's 641 Towing For Toys.
Â
In order to be eligible for the award, the student-athlete must be in good academic standing, must demonstrate good citizenship through good sportsmanship and significant community service, and must participate in a sport, during the season of recognition. The Valley will recognize 12 student-athletes three times annually (Fall, Winter, Spring), for a total of 36 honorees. Institutions select their State Farm MVC Good Neighbor Award honorees.
