HONORS DINNER For the 10th straight year, the top scholar-athletes of Northwest Indiana, who were nominated by their schools for the NFF's scholarships, will be featured during the annual Honors Dinner at the Purdue Memorial Union. Those 22 scholar-athletes are all high school seniors who are headed to college next fall. Twelve of the 22 have 4.0 grade point averages or better, six are ranked among the top five in their senior classes and three are on course to be valedictorians. Eight of those young men will be singled out by judg- es as finalists for the Scholar-Athlete-of-the-Year Award and the winner will be announced that evening, making him a candidate for the Indiana Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award. The "competition" is based 40 percent on academics, 40 percent on athletics and 20 percent on cit- izenship, leadership and character. The scholars-athletes and high schools are: Ryan Ball (North White); Nicholas Bokun (Hobart); Jacob Brown (Fountain Central); Kolbie Cox (Lewis Cass); Quen- tin Douglass (Caston); Ben Fields (Harrison); Rob Fox (Delta); Everett Gorup (West Lafayette); Nigel Hensley (Central Catholic); Nicklaus Ingoglia (Munster); Jake Jatis (Crown Point); Michael Krutz (Valparaiso); Garrett Johnson (Delphi); Fletcher Miller (Kokomo); Matthew O'Brien (Andrean); Andrew Ralph (Chesterton); Levi Schultz (Winamac); Tyler Souligne (Benton Central); Mitchell Sterner (Lafayette Jefferson); Khalil Upshaw (Gary West Side); Erick Vas (Northwestern) and Avery Walker (Rensselaer). In addition, the Honors Dinner crowd will pay tribute to the high school players and managers chosen from Regions 1 and 4 to compete on the North Squad in the annual North-South All-Star Game this summer in Indi- anapolis. Highlighting the awards ceremony at this year's mar- quee event will be the induction of three people into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame. They are former Heisman Trophy runner-up Leroy Keyes, former Super Bowl cham- pion and Boilermaker Mike Alstott and long-time high school coaching great Tim Roth of Winamac.
