A Flashback to the Bearcats
The Dunbar boys’ basketball game on Feb. 5 is taking place in the old home of the Bearcats. This is just a little throwback on what things used to look like for Dunbar High. From old trophies and uniforms to mascots and photos.
A window displaying Dunbar artifacts is located outside the College and Career Center on PLD’s Campus.
Behind this trophy you can see photos of the graduating classes. Dunbar on North Upper Street was open from 1923-1967.
As proud of the red, white, black spirit we have. Things used to be different. Green and white were the official Bearcat colors.
Win after win. Dunbar has always been known for their basketball team and this is just a small glimpse of the awards we have received.
The Bearcats liked it classy. This is one of Dunbar’s old uniforms.
Dunbar High was an all-black high school. It opened in 1923 and is still open till this day. It may not be in the same building but we definitely still have the ongoing spirit.
This sign well represents the beliefs of Dunbar. Not only did this apply back on North Upper Street, now it applies to the same school on Man ‘O’ War.
William Bibbs, a former Dunbar basketball player. He was an all-star player and a great contribute to the team.
This little bearcat doesn’t look intimidating, but in the arena all bearcats dominated.
