Dunham lauded by Whitman coach

Here's Whitman College Coach Eric Bridgeland talking about his recruiting class, one student-athlete in particular:

[Rolaun] Dunham, from Riverbank High School (Calif.), is "the incoming freshman every coach dreams of," according to Bridgeland. He states that the 6-foot-2 Rolaun "is a proven winner, leader in his community and church, and a better person than player.

"On the court, (Dunham) is a strong and balanced defender who can lock up any position on the floor and at the other end, mixes a powerful, explosive, slashing game with an unbelievable touch to finish or can set up teammates once he's by his defender."

Dunham led Riverbank to a four-year record of 88-24, was a two-time most outstanding player for the Trans Valley League and in April was tabbed the Modesto Bee Stanislaus District Player of the Year.
