 MUNCIE, Ind -- Success. It's not always measured by wins and losses, nor is it the true measure of a man. Success is defined by how a man conquers the challenges that hold him back. For Ball State men's basketball student-athlete Malik Perry, the very thing which tried to hold him back wasn't only what he loved, but where he came from. The original package aired Dec. 18, 2009 as part of the exclusive Ball State Sports Link Fall Recap show on WIPB-TV. Produced by Nick Yeoman, Seth Tanner and Ben Wagner. Watch The Video.
