In his only year at Lawrence County he made an immediate impact on defense and will go down as one of the best second basemen in a long time.
This past season Perkins hit .329 with 26 hits, 7 doubles, 1 triple, drove in 17 runs and was 14-14 in the stolen base department.
Perkins also considered Rio Grande and Midway. I’m going to major in physical therapy at UPike.

“…It was better for me academically and better location overall than the others that I considered.”
“… I think it was more competitive and better experience playing for Lawrence County. Individualized coaching was big for me. All the coaches work hard with the athletes, they seen things in me that I didn’t see. They pushed me to be the best player I could be.”
“… I want to thank God first of all for making all this happen with him you can do anything . I also want to thank my parents for all the sacrifices and helping me become a better person. I want to thank the LCHS coaching staff for pushing me to be the best I can be and a extra big thanks to Coach Feltner for helping me with my college decision and pushing me to be a better man off and on the field.”

COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Cam had a great year for us, he was outstanding defensively and made a few plays this year that I haven’t seen many people make.”
“… He will make an impact at UPike if he continues what he started here last August. He put in a ton of work and wish we would have had him for his entire career.”
