Dunham signs with Wesleyan

Senior Pioneer baseball player Scott Dunham has agreed to continue his playing career at the college level, inking a full scholarship to Tennessee Wesleyan College over the weekend.

Dunham, a member of both the Pioneer baseball and football squads for the past four years, traveled to the Athens, Tenn., school to work out for Wesleyan’s coaches, who had seen the senior outfielder perform before, but nonetheless were still impressed by his speed.

“I knew he was fast, I just didn’t know he was that fast,” head coach Ashley Lawson said of Dunham, who was clocked in a 60-yard dash at 6.84 seconds. “His speed is exceptional.”

Tennessee Wesleyan is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Affiliated with the Methodist church, the college and its athletic programs work to develop well-rounded athletes on and off the field.

The Bulldogs compete in the Appalachian Athletic Conference, and are currently 22-13 on the season.
