Racer Newcomer - Dionte Bostick - Murray State University Athletics

Murray State men's basketball incoming freshman, Dionte Bostick, is set to join the Racers this summer to begin preparations for the 2020-21 season.

A 6-2 guard out of Clearwater, Florida, Bostick finished up his prep career at East Lake High School in a fantastic way in leading his team to the State Tournament semifinals for the first time in school history. Playing for East Lake head coach Britt Taylor, Bostick finished with an amazing total of 724 points and 138 assists for averages of 24.1 points per game, 5.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.6 steals.

Bostick received many postseason awards since the end of the season, including being named the Florida Dairy Farmers Class 6A Player of the Year. His junior season of 2018-19 was just as good as the Tampa Bay Times named Bostick its Player of the Year and he was named All-State by the Florida Association of Basketball Coaches.

Bostick told GoRacers.com, since signing with Coach Matt McMahon and the Racers, he watched many of the Murray State games last season online as the Racers were winning their third consecutive Ohio Valley Conference regular season championship.

"I liked the way they play, which is fast paced and downhill," Bostick said. "The way they play is the way I like to play. The atmosphere at Murray State home games looks amazing and I can't wait to be a part of it. When I watched games last season, what I tried to do was put myself in the situations that the team had."
