Unusual situation in Chapman - a basketball town. Two of the best athletes in the sophomore class are both very good basketball players but choose to wrestle. It is easier to be a fan of basketball and the crowds are always larger at their venues, however, once you've tasted success at wrestling nothing else quite compares.
That's for sure on everything you mentioned. Chapman is wierd in the fact our basketball team can lose every game and have near sell outs, while our wrestling team can be winning tournament titles and come out with winning records every year and get little respect. I loved coming back to Chapman and writing for the newspaper for sports. I never covered Basketball. BTW the 2 sophomores you mention...total stab in the dark but are you talking about Irvine and Arveson?
