Two BHS Basketball Standouts Commit to College Programs

A pair of boys basketball players verbally committed to play for Ashford University Thursday, said BHS coach Rob Brost.

Cameron Burnett and Josh Little both accepted full scholarships from the NAIA school in Clinton, Iowa.

Burnett, a 5-foot-7 point guard, and Little, a 6-foot-3 forward, will undoubtedly play a vital role in this year's Raider team, Brost said. With their future now decided, Brost said he couldn't be happier.

“This is a great fit for both of these young men," Brost said. "They were on campus last week and decided that Ashford is where they wanted to be. I am thrilled for both of these student-athletes.  They have and will continue to represent Bolingbrook High School in a positive light.”

Ashford is the reigning Midwest Collegiate Conference Tournament champion and and was ousted by No. 4 ranked Bellevue University (Neb.), 66-45 in the NAIA National Championship tournament last season.

Ashford Head Coach Oliver Drake said he was excited to add both players and see what they can do beginning next season.

“I am all smiles and am excited to get both of these quality players and young men,” he said.
