Coming to Ottawa-Glandorf?
Putnam County Sentinel – By Chris Benson – April 1, 1975
It was announced Tuesday, April 1, that 6-8 sophomore,
Dexter Dunken, from Seneca Falls, New York is transferring
to Ottawa-Glandorf High School this coming fall.
The basketball phenomenon was all-state this past season,
averaged an unbelievable 34.5 points, 19 rebounds, six assists
and five blocked shots per game. He played every position for
the Seneca Runnin’ Rebels.
The reason for his moving to Ottawa is that his father, Darnell
Dunken, is being transferred to the Philips ECG Plant here
from the Philips plant in Seneca Falls.
In one game this past year, Dunken scored 67 points which
included 26 of 27 field goal performance with nine slam
dunks, one of those a double 360.
The Dunkens are expected to move to Ottawa following the
end of the current school year.
