For Immediate Release 20 November 2002
Southwest
Baptist’s Head Women’s Basketball Coach Jim Middleton
announced the signing of Hollister native Ashley Bishop to
a National Letter-of-Intent.
Bishop, a 5-10 guard/forward, has signed to play with the
Lady Bearcats starting in the 2003-04 season.
“Ashley has the ability to play multiple positions,”
Middleton said. “She has excellent range to 22 feet and
is capable of playing inside and posting up as well.”
Bishop averaged 25 points and 10 rebounds last season as a
junior. She was a 2001-02 all-state selection and is listed
as one of the top 2002-03 recruits in Missouri Class 2A.
“I believe she can be an impact player for us,”
Middleton said. “She has the mind of a scorer and she
is used to being the leader and go-to person. Plus, she has
ample AAU (Amatuer Athletic Union) experience. Finally, she
just loves to play. She is constantly in the gym working on
her game. Our SBU crowd will enjoy her very much.”
This is the first NLI Middleton has received during the early
signing period.
