DeKalb County High School Tigerette Danielle Tyson has signed with Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville to play softball. Her coaches, family and teammates joined Tyson last Wednesday at DCHS to make the announcement.
"I chose Trevecca because I felt like it was where the Lord was calling me to go," said Tyson. "It is a great school. I loved the players when I went there to camp this past summer. I just really liked the atmosphere and the campus. Those are the major factors why I chose Trevecca," she said.
DCHS Tigerette Coach Danny Bond said Tyson has been an asset to his program and has helped put them in contention for district and regional championships in recent years.
"Dani Tyson came in four years ago," Coach Danny Bond told the Review. "She moved in here and didn’t get to play any ball in the county until she was a freshman. She tried out and had a lot of talent, and she’s refined her skills through the years and has led us in many categories each and every year. Last year it was like seven categories that she led the team in, including batting average and stolen bases. She has developed into a good overall player. I see great success for her and Trevecca with her being on the team."
Fran Tyson, Danielle’s mother, had high praise for the DCHS coaches. "We appreciate very much the coaching staff at DCHS. I think that is such a crucial part of developing Danielle into the player she is now."
