ALMA MATER
In the Mississippi Valley,
In the Crescent Bend
Stands our loved and noble Xavier,
Far her praises send.
Refrain:
Wave her colors bear them onward
Gold and white so true
Hail to thee, all hail, dear Xavier
Hail, all hail, X.U.!
Xavier, ever be our guide
And lead us on the way,
Through life's journey, onward, upward
To the eternal day. (Refrain)

April 9, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's
Jamaan Kenner is one of five NAIA men's basketball student-athletes to receive a
$2,000 Pattison Champions of Character Scholarship for the 2011-12 season.
Kenner — 6-foot-4 senior guard from LaPlace, La., and a
graduate of East St. John High School — also was named a
Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete for the second consecutive season.
Each of the 32 teams that qualified for the Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I National Championship
nominated a player who best represents the five core values of the Champions of Character program: respect,
responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsmanship.
Those student-athletes then were automatically considered for the Pattison scholarship.

The other scholarship recipients are Jake Greene of LSU-Shreveport,
Maurice Rutherford of Rogers State, Brice Sharp of Lee (Tenn.) and Mico Sjekloca
of Life.
This is the eighth year that longtime NAIA supporters
Dr. Phil and Mary Pattison have
awarded these scholarships. Xavier's Michael Varnado was a scholarship recipient
in the 2004-05 season.
Minimum qualifications for Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete
are junior academic status and a cumulative 3.5 grade-point average.
Kenner is a biology/pre-medical major with a 3.62 GPA and
will graduate from Xavier on May 12. He
has been accepted
into the School of Medicine of LSU Health Sciences Center at Shreveport
and Meharry Medical College of Nashville, Tenn.
Kenner, a four-year letterman, averaged 5.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in 30 games
and made 37-of-98 3-pointers this past season. The Gold Rush finished 23-9,
earned a share of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference regular-season championship
and were 24th in the NAIA postseason coaches poll.
