Kilsyth juniors Jamie Ahale and Josh Kunen are set to tip-off their 2020/21 NCAA collegiate campaigns this week.

Ahale enters his senior season with the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), where he looks to take on a larger role under new head coach, Luke Yaklich. Yaklich won an NCAA championship as an assistant at the University of Michigan, and is expected to turn the Flames into a Horizon League conference powerhouse. The sharpshooting Ahale excelled both on and off the court in 2019-20, as he was named to the Horizon League All-Academic Team and the NABC Honors Court.

Ahale and the Flames open their new season on the road against Northern Illinois University on Thursday November 26, 11.00am (AEST).

Josh enters his sophomore season at the University of San Francisco following an impressive freshmen campaign. Josh started 24 games in his debut season, helping the Dons make a deep run in the WCC postseason tournament. Josh recorded a pair of double-doubles and scored a season-high 16 points in a win over UC Davis, with his strong first year play earning him a place on the College Hoops Today ’20 under-the-radar breakout players’ list

Josh and the Dons open their season on Thursday November 26, when they hit the road to take on UMass Lowell at 8am (AEST); the first of four east coast games in the ‘Bubbleville Tournament.’
