Rest In Peace Mr. Chappell, have heard stories about him from my Dad since I was a kid. Every bit as a big of a Wake Forest legend as Chill and Timmy.
He was my boyhood hero. One of my greatest regrets as a Deacon follower is that I never go to see him play in person. I wonder if the current generation of Wake Forest fans even realize what an important figure he was in establishing Wake Forest basketball when the ACC was just emerging as a leader in the college game.
Pretty sure that’s the Final Four game against OSU.
Didn’t realize Chappell was an All-Star for the Knicks. Averaged a near double-double.
