DEAF UNDERDOG BEATS THE ODDS

After playing baseball for 14 years, Kevin Boudreau Jr. went from 
junior varsity to varsity player in one year for the Bloomfield Hills 
Lahser.  After being toyed with and picked on by his teammates in
his 7th grade year, he went on to establish himself as a contributing 
teammember of Bloomfield Hills Middle School.  Kevin was the starting
shortstop in 9th grade on the freshman team and batted .300, as a sophomore
he batted .391 as the starting Centerfielder for the junior varsity, and .343 
as a junior.  He won the most improved player award his junior year.  Kevin 
was recently accepted by Gallaudet University for the Fall of 1998.  He hopes 
to become a physical education teacher for the Deaf and Hearing impaired 
students.  He has plans to play on the Gallaudet baseball team. He prides 
his Bloomfield Hills Lahser number 36 after Curtis Pride, a Deaf outfielder 
for the Boston Red Sox.  His real pride lies in that he didn't quit when 
baseball became a real challenge.
