S.W.A.G. NAMES AJANAKO BEST VOLLEYBALL PLAYER IN GHANA
FOR 2002
PARKVILLE, MO--The Sportswriters Association of Ghana recently (SWAG) designated
Park University freshman men's volleyball player Seidu Ajanako as the Best
Volleyball Player in Ghana for 2002. The award was announced earlier this month
and will be formally presented to Ajanako in April or May. A 6-4 outside hitter
from Accra, Ghana, Ajanako was adjudged the Best African Spiker during the
Africa Men's Club Championship in March 2002. According to SWAG vice president
Emmanuel Amoako, Ajanako's performance in the Club Championship largely
influenced his selection for the latest honor. Ghana will play in the
All-Africa Games volleyball eliminations in Cotonou, Benin, from February
11-17; Ajanako and the 2003 Park University men's volleyball team set off their
season on Friday evening with a 7 p.m. scrimmage against Park alumni.
