One of the stalwarts of Camp Hill's back-to-back PIAA Class A championship teams has made his future college choice.Tyler Shover, the starting catcher on Camp Hill's 2008 and 2009 state championship teams, will attend West Virginia University next fall.
Shover, a two-time first-team All-Sentinel catcher, spent his first two collegiate years at Frederick Community College, a junior college located in Frederick, Md.
Shover said he chose West Virginia over a slew of NCAA Division II schools, including Shippensburg, Mount Olive, Newberry College, Mars Hill and Belhaven College.
"I chose WVU because it was always my goal to play a (Division I) sport," Shover said. "Plus, I like everything WVU has to offer."
Shover said the Mountaineers started recruiting him during his junior year when he hit .369 with 30 RBIs, six doubles and four home runs. As a senior, Shover led the area with 34 RBIs and seven home runs. He was fourth in area with .463 batting average.
Shover is the starting catcher for the Cougars (32-2), who are ranked No. 1 in the latest NJCAA poll.
When he joins the Mountaineers, Shover will be reunited with former Camp Hill teammate L.K. Thompson, who graduated from Camp Hill last June after leading the Lions to the District 3-A title game and the PIAA Class A quarterfinals.
