Centerburg's Myles Signs to Play for Lady Cougars
written by Dave Parsons, Sports Information Director

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (5-18-2009) - The Mount Vernon Nazarene University women’s basketball team has signed an important recruit for the 2009-2010 season as Camaranne Myles has decided to further her education and continue her basketball career at MVNU.

Myles, a 5-foot-7 shooting guard from Centerburg, Ohio, averaged 15.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.7 steals per game as a senior at Centerburg High School as she was named to the Mid-Buckeye Conference Second Team and the All-District First Team. The four-year varsity letterwinner was also a two-time MBC Honorable Mention pick.

“Camaranne has obviously had a great career,” said MVNU coach Steve Gregory. “This year, she stepped out of the shadows and was a much more well-rounded player. There is no better time to do that than your senior year. We knew she could shoot the ball - she shoots really well from the perimeter and we like to shoot a lot of threes. The other aspect of her game she has improved was taking the ball to the basket. She is a slasher and that makes her more difficult to guard. She is also someone who can be counted on for leadership. She has a lot of positives and they all bode well for what we do.”

“I have known Camaranne for a long time and the type of character she has always exuded and exemplified is the type of kid we are looking for at MVNU,” Gregory added. “Any time you can recruit kids from your local area, it is a positive. It is nice that she wanted to stay local and closer to home. Hopefully, she will have an impact for us.”

In addition to playing basketball at Centerburg and on several AAU teams, Myles was a two-year varsity letterwinner in volleyball and was a MBC First Team and All-District First Team selection as a senior.

“I have grown up in a Christian environment and continuing my education in a Christian atmosphere is one of my goals,” said Myles of her college choice. “My sister (Caitlin) is currently enrolled in the nursing program and has played volleyball for two years at MVNU. I have participated in numerous camps and clinics with Coach Gregory and have admired the athletes for the devotion to the athletic programs and their desire to communicate their faith to the participants. I have a desire to reach out to others and fell that MVNU provides numerous opportunities for this.”

MVNU finished the 2008-2009 season with a 27-9 overall record - the best in school history - as the Lady Cougars captured their third National Christian College Athletic Association national title and also finished as the American Mideast Conference Tournament runner-up.
