Dawson CC Athletics

Brad Pauley made an immediate impact on Dawson Community College as a freshman after an outstanding career at Dawson County High School. The 6’5” forward averaged 22 points and 17 rebounds per game and scored 710 points in the 1969-1970 season. He was named All-Region for those accomplishments.

Pauley led the Buccaneers to a 28-8 record in his sophomore year. The team averaged a school record 96.7 points per game and scored 3,576 points – tops in the country for the NJCAA. The team set eight school records in the 1970-1971 season.  Pauley’s career highs were 44 points and 32 rebounds, both in the same game against Sheridan College. He averaged 25 points and 17 rebounds on a team that regularly had 6 players in double figures.  Pauley was named All-Region again as a sophomore, and ranked as one of the top 25 scorers in the country. The Buccaneers went 19-1 at home that season and won 10 straight games – both school records at the time – and won the region championship.

Pauley is one of the most decorated players in the history of Dawson Community College Athletics, scoring over 1,000 points and collecting over 1,000 rebounds in his two seasons at Dawson, setting the school record for points in a season (710) and rebounds in a season (600).  He was highly recruited after finishing at DCC and signed a National Letter of Intent with Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.
