Ernest Mallory | Basketball
Coach Ernest P. Mallory coached basketball at Dunbar High School from 1950-1961. Coach Mallory’s teams at Dunbar won four state championships – 1953, 1957, 1960 and 1961. The Quarterback Club of Houston named him the Coach of the Year in 1962 in Class AA Basketball. During his twelve year coaching career at Dunbar, his teams won 5 district titles along with the four state championships. His state title team of 1957 was so dominant in the way they defeated their opponent, they would mimic the Harlem Globetrotters once the game was out of reach. His 1957 team featured two all state players in Olla Chew and Jimmy Peppers. Coach Mallory passed away in 2005.
