Winner To Compete In State Farm College Slam Dunk &
3-Point Championships In March On ESPN
Round One Voting Open Now Until Feb. 13 at Facebook.com/collegeslam
CHICAGO – C.W. Post’s senior guard
Stefan Bonneau is nominated for the “Dark Horse Dunker”
competition, Intersport announced today. “Dark Horse
Dunker” nominees are under-the-radar players who have what it
takes to compete against the D-I field in New Orleans. The winner
will participate in the Denny’s Slam Dunk Competition at the
State Farm College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships in New
Orleans March 29 on ESPN. Sixteen dunkers have been selected to
compete in the “Dark Horse Dunker” Facebook bracket
which is a four-week knockout competition. Fans will determine the
winner by voting during each round at the official Facebook page
(Facebook.com/collegeslam).
At only 5’10” Bonneau doesn’t look like a
dunker, but he can fly with the best of them. In his submission
video, Bonneau gets his head even with the rim as he throws down a
huge alley-oop. Bonneau is facing-off against Metro State’s
Reggie Evans in round one. To watch Bonneau and Evans in action and
to vote for them or any of the other competitors visit
(Facebook.com/collegeslam). Voting for round one ends Monday, Feb.
13.
Last year, Jacob Tucker from Illinois College won the voting to
join the 2011 State Farm Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships. Not
only were his dunks impressive enough to get him into the event, he
also won the Denny’s Slam Dunk Competition and is now a
member of the Harlem Globetrotters. To view Tucker’s classic
