Dawson Buccaneers leading scorer, Camron Dunfee, signed a Letter of Intent to continue his education and basketball career at Minot State University. Minot is a NCAA Division 2 school that competes in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.
Minot Coach Matt Murkin commented, “We are extremely excited to add Camron to our basketball program! He is a young man that we identified early in the recruiting process as a top priority. First and foremost, he is an extremely high character young man. Secondly, his ability to score in multiple ways and also impact the game defensively has helped Dawson Community College win at a high level the last two years. He will make an immediate impact on our program.”
Dunfee won 47 games over his two year career at Dawson and three championships (Pre-season Conference Tournament, Mon-Dak Conference and Region XIII title). He was the leading scorer for Dawson this year, scoring in double digits in 26 of their 33 games, averaging 16.1 ppg and 3.5 rpg while shooting 48.5% from the field, 44.1% from 3 point range and 80% from the free throw line. He comes from Castle Rock, Colorado and played at Douglas County High School.
Dawson Coach Joe Peterson was excited, “Minot recruited him very hard and came to just about every game we played over the last month of the season. Cam’s a loyal guy and I know that meant a lot to him. I’m glad he’s going to a good program with a solid coaching staff who really wants him. With Cam’s personality and skill, I’m sure he will fit in well and make an immediate impact for them.”
Dunfee shared his reasoning, “I chose Minot because they took the time to recruit me throughout the entire year. They really showed love and made me feel like a priority. Dawson has been a great home for me the past two years and coming here was the best decision I’ve ever made in my young life. The memories, bonds and relationships I’ve built here are like no other! The town is fully invested in us and really was a home away from home. From every faculty member including teachers and coaches to the classmates and teammates, DCC truly is one of a kind.”
