Lions ink Chandler Mack to incoming class

The Freed-Hardeman Lion basketball team added another player to its incoming recruiting class with the recent signing of Chandler Mack of Huntsville, Ala.

Mack, a 6-foot-7 forward, played his senior season at Madison Academy in Huntsville under head coach Andy Blackston, where he helped lead the Mustangs to the AHSAA Class 3A state championship game. He averaged 14 points and four rebounds per game on his way to being named Northwest Regional MVP, Area MVP and second team All-State.

Before coming to Madison Academy, Mack played his freshman through junior seasons at Mary Carroll HS in Corpus Christi, Texas.

"The term 'tremendous upside' is thrown around a lot these days, but Chandler is definitely in that category," said FHU head coach Jason Shelton. "He is a 6-foot-7 athletic perimeter player who with added weight and strength will be able to excel at our level. Chandler's year with Coach Blackston has him on the right path to success."

Mack joins six other players in FHU's 2010-11 recruiting class: Vincent Dotson (Charlotte, Tenn./Creek Wood HS), Ben Meis (Memphis, Tenn./FCA Nighthawks), Michael Tomlin (Jackson, Tenn./North Side HS), Quintin Lee (Ripley, Tenn./Ripley HS), Reginald Gilmore (Chattanooga, Tenn./Tyner Academy) and Sam Fleischman (Hartselle, Ala./Hartselle HS).

Chandler is the son of Brenda Mack.
