Big transition for super prep coach Chaney [/b]

Powerhouse prep coach Chris Chaney is switching schools – and he’s taking his entire team with him.

Chaney, who coached DerMarr Johnson at the Newport (Md.) School and Shawne Williams at Laurinburg (N.C.) Institute, is leaving Laurinburg this month to start a postgraduate basketball program at The Patterson School. The Laurinburg roster is making the three-hour move with him to Patterson, which is in the small, western North Carolina town of Lenoir.

Chaney said he’s leaving for two reasons. One, he said, the facilities at Patterson are superior. Two, Chaney worked with the Patterson headmaster when they were both at Newport. [/b]

Run, I posted a similar story in Kenyan Harmon’s thread yesterday. :rolleyes: :stuck_out_tongue:

scout.com: Chaney leaving Laurinburg

The scout.com story only mentioned a few guys. It sounds like all guys are going with him. Also, didn’t know he was getting reunited with Newport (MD) prep guy. Send us another RW but make him stay 4 years.

If this is superior I hate to think what Laurinburg’s Gym looks like.

wow, I don’t rememeber it looking that bad, but it is a dive- I don’t remember the pond either(that a pond right?!?!?). It’s no Latin or like any other Christian school around here. It’s in the middle of nowhere.

Also, I think there were no fans the time I played there. I not sure what Chaney is thinking. Good luck.

Laurinberg doesn’t have their own gym.

Where do they play? A rec. center or something?

Either at the CC near by or St. Andrews College.

That pretty well sums up my home town of Lenoir.

Well, I guess a Cracker Jack box is better than no gym at all.
