ST. LOUIS, Mo. - The awards continue to trickle in for Bradley men's basketball walk-on guard Charonn Woods.  Today he was named the winter Bradley recipient of the State Farm Good Neighbor Award from the Missouri Valley Conference.

In an effort to honor the achievements of exceptional student-athletes, The Valley, in partnership with State Farm, has created the MVC State Farm Good Neighbor Award, which is presented three times per academic year (fall, winter, spring) to one student-athlete from each of the league's 10 member institutions.  This year's winter honorees include Woods; Matthew Dorwart (Creighton men's basketball); Sarah Yeager (Drake women's indoor track); Colt Ryan (Evansville men's basketball); Jeanette Nolte (Illinois State women's swimming and diving); Andrea Rademacher (Indiana State women's basketball); Christiana Shorter (Missouri State women's basketball); Chelsea Hartman (UNI women's swimming and diving); Harry Whitt (Southern Illinois men's basketball); and Jaclyn Abrahamian (Wichita State women's indoor track).

In order to be eligible for the award, student-athlete nominees 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's member institutions select their State Farm Good Neighbor Award honorees.

A first-team MVC Scholar-Athlete, Woods is a former men's basketball team manager who played his way into a starting position by the end of the 2011-12 season.  The 5-foot-10 guard sports a perfect 4.0 cumulative grade point average as a health science major and has been accepted to Saint Louis University Medical School.  A two-year member of the Braves Council student-athlete advisory board, he spearheaded the campus Soles4Souls shoe donation drive this winter, an effort that resulted in more than 100 pairs of new and gently-worn athletic shoes being donated for those in need.
