Lions Add Station Camp Trio

HENDERSON, Tenn. – July 21, 2008 – A trio of Station Camp High School baseball players will remain teammates for the next four years.

On Friday, July 18, Tim Bowles, Dakota Angell, and Darrek Lisch all signed to play collegiate baseball at Freed-Hardeman University. The three played under FHU alumnus Jerry Ballard in high school.

Angell, a pitcher from Cottontown, Tenn., went 6-4 with a 2.39 ERA and 72 strikeouts. His performance helped him earn second team all-district and first team all-county honors. Freed-Hardeman head coach Patrick McCarthy believes Angell has a good chance to pitch as a freshman. He is the son of Johnny and Donna Angell.

Lisch, a catcher from Gallatin, Tenn., batted .402 in his senior season with three homeruns and 23 RBI. He was a first team all-district and all-county selection and is the son of Darrek Lisch, Sr., and Sheryl Standley.

Bowles, a utility player from Hendersonville, Tenn., was named honorable mention all-county and was the team’s defensive player of the year. He is the son of Tim and Vicki Bowles.

The Lions posted an overall record of 32-18 during the 2008 season.
