Captain Kangaroo Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 Chillicothe opened the season with a loss to perennial State powerhouse Columbus Brookhaven. Two wins have followed:Win #1, Humpty Goes for 30Win #2, Hitchins Nets 18 Quote
skip-zip Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Hmm...Sounds like he plays on a good "team". Is someone that size usually considered a "long shot" to succeed at this level? How many Spud Webbs or Earl Boykins really exist out there?For all of our complaints about being deficient at PG, we'll be flat-out "saturated" come next year.Let the battle begin. Good thing Sullivan is versatile enough to light it up at a 2-Guard. Quote
Zippysgotagun Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Is someone that size usually considered a "long shot" to succeed at this level? How many Spud Webbs or Earl Boykins really exist out there?Don't knock the little man. Look at Tajuan Porter from Oregon...he's only 5'6" and he lit it up in the tournament last year. You just need to be able to move well and shoot decently. Quote
GoZips Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 Anthony "Humpty" Hitchens (note the "E" in his name) nails 25 and is not even the star of the game. Sure hope KD and crew have an eye on this Ray Chambers kid.Most likely KD or other members of his staff were in Cincinnati Satuday the 22nd to see these kids play.Sweet As Sugar Quote
GoZips Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 Marietta finds a way to shutdown Chillicothe's offense and nearly wins.Humpty averaging 19.6 ppg was held to just three in the near loss.Tough night Quote
GoZips Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 Humpty has a good night. Twenty-four in blow out win over a local rival (Ironton).The big Ray Chambers kid better be on the Zips radar as he posts another double-double. Win Over Ironton Quote
Blue & Gold Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Just reading between the lines in a couple articles you guys have posted, it sounds as if the Chambers kid may be a bit mentally fragile. It sounds as if he's been blessed with 6-7 height but still doesn't have a lot of confidence? Of course, he's a senior in high school and still has a lot of developing to do. Could he be a project player? Quote

GP1 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Do you guys think this Humpty kid will ruin the image and the style that we're used to? Quote
GoZips Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 GP1 ... please explain your question.To me, Humpty fits our style to a tee. He is a tough, hard nosed kid who plays his butt off.He will certainly help the Zips keep a four guard rotation along with Roberts, McNees, and Ronnie Steward. Then, too, Alex Sullivan gives the Zips a large guard.I think the guard positions are well set for the next few years.We need a banger, hopely Steve Swiech, to replace Jerimiah Wood.From what I have read, the Bedford kid, Reggie Keely at six-seven fits that role quite well.

Blue & Gold Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 Do you guys think this Humpty kid will ruin the image and the style that we're used to?Ha! Hilarious! GoZips, there was an old (late 80's?) rap group named Digital Underground that had their one hit single called The Humpty Hump where the MC said something about, "the image and the style that we're used to."Do the humpty, do the humpty hump, watch me do the humpty hump...White people...Samoans...

Zip Watcher Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 Do you guys think this Humpty kid will ruin the image and the style that we're used to?I was asking myself the same thing .. after all, I've heard he once got busy in a Burger King bathroom. Quote

GoZips Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Big Win over Division-I Zanesville. Which is also a local rivalry."Senior guard Anthony Hitchens scored 14 points in the last six minutes, 10 seconds of regulation to force overtime, then added six more in the extra four minutesas Chillicothe's boys basketball team took home another marquee win Friday, this time a 59-58 victory over Division-I Zanesville."Read The Full Story Quote
Blue & Gold Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 In regards to the above story link, Humpty finished with a game high 30 points. He really sounds like a clutch player. And reading his quotes, he also sounds calm yet intense, intelligent and well spoken. Gotta love Dials, but he is playing out of position at the PG this year; taking one for the team. But after watching the Can't State & CMU games, man, I'm really looking forward to seeing both Humpty and Steward in Zips uni's next season! Quote
