Woodland Hills’ Keandre Bowles shoots over Gateway’s R.J. Stevenson during their game Friday, Dec. 14, 2018, at Woodland Hills.
The WPIAL’s leading scorer is headed to the Great Plains.
Recent Woodland Hills graduate Keandre Bowles, a 28.9-point scorer, announced Sunday his commitment to Barton College in Great Bend, Kan.
The team competes in Division I of the National Junior College Athletic Association.
The 6-foot-3 guard was a Trib 10 all-star and earned second-team all-state honors.
The 1,240-point career scorer twice had more than 40 points in a game last season including a school-record 43. He scored 30 or more points 10 times.
He led the Wolverines (18-9) to the WPIAL Class 5A quarterfinals.
Barton went 25-8 overall last season and 15-8 in the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference.
First and foremost I want to thank God for giving me this opportunity to play the sport i love on the next level. Next I would like to thank my family, friends, and coaches who supported me with my decision and pushed me to get to this point. Barton is my next stop‼️#JUCOPRODUCT pic.twitter.com/pFTtkOUYp0
