Snow would have made a difference for Dunbar at state
Here’s how close that Dunbar came to winning the boys Division II state track and field team title last weekend: one move-out.
Long jumper Jaecob Snow was fourth in the event at state for the Wolverines last year and was capable of winning as a senior. However, he moved to California last summer.
Snow got that individual state title … for El Camino High School in San Diego. His jump of 23-4.25 was good enough to win the California Interscholastic Federation state track and field championships at the University of California, Berkeley, also this past weekend.
That jump would easily also have won him the D-II title in Ohio; instead, Andre Elkins of Leavittsburg won in 22-5.75.
Had Snow remained at Dunbar and won the long jump, that would have given the Wolverines 10 additional team points. Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary defeated runner-up Dunbar for the D-II boys team title, 51-44.

If “if and buts were candy and nuts what a wonderful world it would be.’ Making presumptions in good for blogs and talk shows, but not reality. If Williamson gets on a jump like the regional, Dunbar gets the points. If Harris places in the event, more points. On and on. Dunbar did great considering it injury circumstances. St. V 800 runners came through when challenged. That’s why track is best individual sport at high school level. All about the male or female athlete doing their best with no excuses.

Off the subject, but was just curious. What ever happened to Dunbar basketball star Keontae Brown? Was he ever arrested after his heroin indictment a few months back?

Looks like Keontae is still at large. Montgomery County Courts website does not show that he has been apprehended.

Nicole, thanks for the info on Keontae. Guess he must of missed out on his senior class graduation and won’t be getting any college offers. Congrats to Dunbar track team!!!

WOW, Westside and Nicole this article was about track and field and you’ll still seem to bring something negative into the picture? Keontae wasn’t even a part of the T&F team so why he would even be mentioned is beyond my understanding. Hey, but you’ll probably couldn’t survive if you’ll didn’t get you’lls negative juices flowing on a daily basis!
