Voting Open For Stefan Bonneau in Round Two of College Slam Dunk Championship
CHICAGO (Feb. 13, 2012) - Senior guard
Stefan Bonneau (Middletown, N.Y.) won his round one match in the “Dark Horse Dunker” competition and has moved into round two, 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
.
At only 5'10” Bonneau doesn't look like a dunker, but he can fly with the best of them. In his highlight video, Bonneau gets his head even with the rim as he throws down a huge alley-oop. Bonneau won round one voting over Metro State's Reggie Evans and moves on to round two where he'll face-off against High Point's Shay Shine. To watch Bonneau and Shine in action and to vote for them or any of the other competitors visit

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 slams visit
