RICHARDSON, Texas (June 2) – Central Oklahoma baseball standout Andrew Foshee collected yet another post-season award Tuesday when the senior was chosen as the 2009 Lone Star Conference Fred Jacoby Academic Male Athlete of the Year.

West Texas A&M basketball star Emily Brister won the female honor as she and Foshee were just the second recipients of the award bearing the name of Jacoby, the lone-time LSC commissioner who passed away in 2008. The nominees included the Academic Player of the Year in each sport as selected during the academic year.

Foshee, a first baseman-outfielder with a perfect 4.0 grade point average in marketing, was earlier named UCO’s Senior Male Student-Athlete of the Year, the LSC baseball Academic Player of the Year and a second-team ESPN The Magazine College Division Baseball Academic All-American.

He edged out WTAMU football player Charly Martin for the LSC Fred Jacoby Academic Male Athlete of the Year honor.

A four-year letterman for the Bronchos, Foshee batted .341 this season and led the team in home runs (13) and runs batted in (43) while adding 14 doubles and scoring 51 runs.
