Dunbar facing wild enthusiasm, increased expectations
Dunbar basketball coach Pete Pullen almost has to laugh when you ask him how his week is going.
“It’s been hectic,” he says.
Massive understatement.
Since Dunbar whipped visiting Whitney Young from Chicago in the Flyin’ to the Hoop boys basketball event at Trent Arena on Sunday, Jan. 17, Pullen’s Wolverines have been a major talking point in Miami Valley basketball, if not throughout Ohio.
The win got Dunbar into at least one top 25, as the Wolverines stand No. 22 in the MaxPreps.com national rankings. There’s not much time to rest, as they’re probably midway through the first half against Meadowdale as I’m writing this and face Trotwood-Madison on Sunday at the Nutter Center.
But there were four game-free days to bask in the frantic what-if and just-how-good chit chat created by that win.
Pullen said he’s talked with plenty of people who told him they have never seen a better half than the first 16 minutes turned in by the Wolverines against Whitney Young. It was mostly a blur.
If Dunbar keeps rolling — the Wolverines have started 11-0 — expect plenty more slaps on the back for the players and coaches.
“The hardest part is trying to match what we did Sunday, because that’s what some people expect to see all the time now,” Pullen said. “We have to play at our level, and we still have the meet the challenges coming up.”
