“I’ve heard it so many times,” said Chapman, 37. “I also teach science and my students call me LeBron as well.”
Chapman insists that he does nothing to imitate The Chosen One.
“I would love to meet him,” Chapman said. “I’m a huge fan.”
That’s foul: Medina coach Anthony Stacey took exception to the rough play and mute whistles by officials in a 64-49 loss to Franklin.
“We’d be better off calling our own fouls,” bellowed Stacey during the game. Minutes later he was hit with a technical foul.
Stacey, 34, is Bowling Green State University’s all-time leader in points and steals.
Later in the game all five Franklin players and the three officials were huddled under a basket, looking for a wayward contact lens. Barked a Medina assistant: “I hope it’s one of the ref’s!”
Better, but ... : The 97-38 beating that Trotwood took Saturday from Huntington Prep was a shocker.
“We’re trying to get a lot of things squared away and some of it has to do with basketball and a lot of it doesn’t,” said Rocky Rockhold, in his first season as the Rams head coach.
“The common fan who comes out and watches us play has got to wonder what’s going on. But we’re making progress.”
The Rams (2-4) have been hurt by transfers and slowed by the football team’s 15-week run to a state title.
Good move: Former Trent Arena manager Matt Wahrhaftig was insistent that Flyin’ move from Vandalia.
Good thing, because after 10 years the event is bigger, better and more nationally acclaimed than ever.
“When we started looking at groups to bring in and were talking basketball, there was only one name that came up,” Wahrhaftig said.
It took him a year to win over Flyin’ founder Eric Horstman and make the move to Kettering.
Road show: Huntington Prep (W.Va.) torched Trotwood-Madison and Middletown by a combined tally of 181-68.
Easily the most impressive Flyin’ team, Huntington arrived home at 3 a.m. Monday and played a 3 p.m. game, winning 93-43.
