Burke's Khadija Ellison commits to Mississippi State
Khadijah Ellison, who averaged 25 points for Burke's girls basketball team in the Boston City South League, has committed to play for Mississippi State next season, said Bulldogs coach John Rice.
She'll be signing her letter of intent at 3 p.m. Monday at Burke high school.
Ellison led Burke to a 14-5 season, scoring 30 points in a season-ending loss to Ashland in the Division 3 South quarterfinals. She had made a verbal commitment to Boston College in her sophomore season.
