2009-2010 season will be a historic season for fire


The 2009-2010 season will be an end of an era for the Fire men's basketball program.

Since Head Coach John Dunlap came to Southeastern in 2001, the Fire has compiled a 194-96 overall record. Southeastern has also dominated the NCCAA D-II's South Region with a 119-16 record.

Over the past eight seasons, Southeastern has won four South Region titles and, in 2005, an NCCAA II National Championship.

This season marks the final one within the NCCAA II for Southeastern University, however. The Fire will play a partial NAIA Sun Conference schedule this season and enter the Sun Conference as a fully active member next season.

The Fire will continue to be a member within the NCCAA, but now as a D-I member since Southeastern will begin giving athletics scholarships next year.
