Oklahoma Baptist University added Charles Page High School outside hitter Shannon Hamilton to the squad for 2008.

A second-team All-State and All-Conference selection, Hamilton also was a classroom standout as a member of the National Honor Society and Who's Who.

She is the daughter of Kyra and Wayne Hamilton.

Hamilton said she selected OBU because "I love the small classes and Christian atmosphere."

OBU started volleyball in 1975, but the program was discontinued after the 1987 season and the Lady Bison take the court for the first time since then in 2008.
