Another local basketball player committed to Missouri State as a preferred walk-on.
Kickapoo High Class of 2020 guard Elijah Bridgers tweeted on Monday night that he committed to play basketball for the Bears.
"I would like to thank God and my family for blessing me with the game of basketball," Bridgers said in a tweet. "Thank you to all my coaches for pushing me through the years. With that being said, I have decided to continue my academic and basketball career at Missouri State University."
Before committing to the Bears, Bridgers held offers from Evangel, Missouri Baptist and Iowa Western.
