“Jack is a generational athlete for Marathon who has the ability to do great things and the attitude and motivation to accomplish them.” – Jim Murphy, Fins head coach

In a recent game, Marathon’s Jack Chapman made a statement, scoring 32 points with all but two of them coming from behind the three-point line. The 10 threes matched the school record, giving Chapman a historical nod for the Fins. And though he is just a freshman, Chapman has quite a bit of varsity experience already, having earned significant playing time for Marathon as an eighth-grader.

“A freshman tying school records is evidence of the hard work he puts in year round to the sport,” said Fins coach Jim Murphy, praising Chapman for his dedication to the sport and his team. For his record-tying endeavor and constant positive energy, Marathon’s Jack Chapman is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.
