Harper came to Austin Peay as a walk-on after prepping at Clarksville High School, following his father, Ralph, an All-American infielder in the 1980’s, and brother Ryne to APSU baseball. He has been a part of two straight Ohio Valley Conference regular-season and tournament championships and a program that has 134 victories and counting during his career. Harper is only the 15th player in APSU history to reach 200 hits in his career, with his 250 hits rank third most all time. He is also ranked in the Top 25 in 23 other categories. Women’s Legends Award
Doyle immediately moved into the Lady Govs starting lineup in 2010 became the first Lady Govs volleyball player in school history to become a three-time All-OVC selection. Along the way, she also became the first Lady Govs player to tally three 400-kill seasons – while also leading the team to its first ever NCAA tournament appearance in 2010. Despite playing only three seasons with the Lady Govs, Doyle leaves fifth all time in kills (1,265) along with 971 digs, 19th most in APSU history. About the Legends AwardsFrom 1947-96, one APSU senior athlete was honored each year. However, beginning in 1997 a male and female senior athlete, respectively, was honored by Joy’s and that continued through 2008. However, Joy’s Jewelers closed its business in Spring 2008, with Legends Bank assuming the tradition of honoring athletics excellence. Other Awards
