Preuninger, Burrus to compete for Concordia
Two Clark County athletes will take their skills to Concordia University in Portland.
Drew Preuninger, a four-year starter for the Camas Papermakers, will continue his basketball career with the Cavaliers.
“Drew is a very talented combo guard. He has the tenacity, quickness and intelligence to play the point, and he shoots it well enough to play the two,” Concordia coach Brad Barbarick said.
Preuninger is Camas’ all-time leader in assists and games played.
Meanwhile, recent Heritage graduate Josh Burrus will compete in track and field and cross country for the Cavs.
Burrus qualified for the Class 4A state cross country championships three times.
“Josh is one of the top cross country runners in the Portland/Vancouver area as well as a fine track and field athlete,” Concordia coach Randy Dalzell said. “He is a team leader with a great work ethic, and he will be a welcome addition to our men’s distance group.”
