Women's Basketball Signs Lauren Yesh to National Letter of Intent

BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Lauren Yesh signed a National Letter of Intent to play basketball at Campbell University beginning with the 2007-08 season Lady Camels head coach Wanda Watkins announced Monday afternoon.

Yesh, a 5-foot-10 forward prepped at Evart High School in Evart, Michigan. As a senior for the Wildcats, Yesh averaged 13 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals a game en route to All-State and All-Conference honors as well as being a McDonald's All-American nominee.

"Lauren is a versatile player and her comprehension of the game gives us some options in facing different types of teams and styles of defense," Watkins said. "She is a scholar athlete who will be an asset to our team and we look forward to her joining our Campbell family."

Yesh was a preseason selection to the Michigan-Detroit Free Press Top 100 Girls prior to her senior season after being named All-Conference for the third time and All-State from the first time following her junior season.

"She is a workhorse and is strong and aggressive inside," Watkins said. "She has strong passing skills for a forward and has the ability to step out and consistently score on the perimeter."

Yesh joins Whitney Ferguson in the 2007 freshmen class for the Lady Camels. Ferguson, a 5-foot-11 forward from Ramseur, N.C., signed with Campbell back in November.
