Morrill accepts scholarship to CSI Golden Eagles

Lionel Morrill – Edmonton, AB – has accepted an athletic scholarship
to the College of Southern Idaho Golden Eagles (CSI) in Twins Falls,
Idaho coach by Boomer Walker.

CSI is one of the top junior college programs in the USA and plays in
the Scenic West Conference (ranked as one of the top Division 1 Junior
College Conferences in the country). CSI has produced over 25 NJCAA
All-Americans and over 90 players have went on to play professional
baseball.

Coach McTavish had this to say about Morrill becoming a Golden Eagle,

“Lionel is one of the most athletic players I have ever coached. His
running ability and arm strength is outstanding. As he continues to
develop as a hitter he will have a very good chance to play
professional baseball and someday maybe play on TV. Lionel has
developed into a solid student-athlete with a very high ceiling and
bright future ahead of him. The VAB is very proud of the development
Lionel has shown both on and off the field of play.”

Morrill and Craswell will follow in Coach Kotkas’s footsteps (who
played for the Golden Eagles in 1983 and 1984). Coach K won the NJCAA
World Series at CSI in 1984.
