Peru State College Athletics

Marissa Pribnow (Lincoln) and Derrick Davis (Orange Park, Fla.) are the Peru State Bobcat Athletes of the Month for April as announced recently by athletic director Steve Schneider.

Davis earned the April honors as he was recently named the HAAC's Baseball Player of the Week. In addition, on Wednesday, it was learned that Davis was one of nine Bobcat football players who were named to the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame (NFF)'s Hampshire Honor Society.

A designated hitter, Davis went three for six last week to hit .500, along with having a slugging percentage of 1.500. In both his last regular season non-conference and conference game, at his last at bat, Davis hit a two-run home run.

The Bobcat baseball team begins HAAC post-season play Thursday in Joplin, Mo., as the third seed in the double elimination tournament.
