Dayton Dunbar looks to bring back State Title, perfect season

When you think about Dayton Dunbar, 2 things come to mind: (1) A Winning tradition of sports (especially basketball) that has produced Legendary teams, players, and coaches that has lasted over decades, and (2) One of the most dominant programs to come out of the Miami Valley.  However, the  2011-12 Wolverines will look to do one thing that has NEVER been achieved.

 Win the State Title with the first ever undefeated record in Dunbar history.

Now when you look at all the great teams that have came out of Dunbar such as: (1) 70's teams with Corneilius and Lorenzo Cash, "Wild" Bill Higgins, Richard Gates and Skip Howard, (2) to the late 80's with Mike Haley coaching and son Jr. playing with Mark Baker-led teams to the 90's where (3) Richard "TuTu" Brown and Co. steamrolled competition, all the way up to the (4) Daequan Cook - Norris Cole - Aaron Pogue trio of dominance just a few years ago. One thing none of those talented teams were able to do was, go undefeated.

   Seniors Gary Akbar (D-2 State Player of the Year), Deontae Hawkins, and Andre Yates will take one step closer to making not only an undefeated season, but a State Title as well. The Wolves have ran roughshod over almost every opponent, and will face on Mentor State Catholic today (10:45 AM) in the early game of the day. However, make no mistakes as this will be the Featured Game as the Wolverines look as focused as ever, with the help of a great coach in Pete Pullen, who's established himself as a legend in the making.

    In the City League, everybody is gunning for the top team, and for the last few years, Dunbar and Thurgood Marshall has shared that label. If Dunbar wins the State Title (and they are HEAVILY favored) that'll be one more notch on the belt for the TOP HIGH SCHOOL in the MIAMI VALLEY when it comes to basketball. And right now, for the past 10 years, I'd have to say the TOP HIGH SCHOOL in the STATE. And maybe top 10 in the COUNTRY.

  Dunbar IS THAT GOOD. And you will see it this weekend. Wolverine Nation will be in full effect.
