Tony Chapman '71 Wins 800th Game - HGP Wins Jack Schott Christmas Tournament 

HGP head basketball coach Tony Chapman won his 800th career game at HGP over Christmas break.

Congratulations to our head varsity basketball coach, Tony Chapman, on his 800th Career Win.  The win came against Abraham Lincoln High School in front of a packed Chapman Arena on December 30th, 2015.  The team won the 18th Annual Jack Schott Memorial Holiday Tournament 74-56.

Coach Chapman has led our program to 20 BAL Titles, 7 PIAA District One Titles, 5 Appearances in the PIAA Final Four, and two Eastern State Titles in 1999 and 2004.  He has been an exemplary leader for all of the students that he has coached over the years.
