Edison Community College...
Former UD Star To Host Edison Fundraiser  
March 14, 2012 

Former University of Dayton basketball star and current television sports analyst Derrick Dukes will be at the Edison Community College campus Thursday night to emcee the school’s annual athletics program fundraiser, the Charger 300. 

Dukes, currently a college basketball analyst for Fox Sports, has also been in the broadcast booth for WHIO-TV and Time Warner Regional TV Sports as the analyst for the University of Dayton’s basketball team. 

Dukes was a four-year starter at the University of Dayton under former NBA head coach Jim O’Brien. In his career, he scored 1,061 points, and remains the only player in UD history to lead the team in assists in four consecutive years. He was the school’s most valuable player for the 1992-93 season. 

The Charger 300 is an annual event that features a reverse raffle with a prize of $10,000. The first two years of the event have raised approximately $25,000 to support Edison athletics. The funds raised will help provide the opportunity for the Charger men’s and women’s basketball and women’s volleyball teams to travel and participate in post season tournaments, and also provide for uniforms and meals for players and coaches. 

This year’s event will also help to fund the newly reestablished Edison Club Baseball Team, which will begin its season March 22. 

Edison’s teams compete in the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference and are members of the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II.
