Haley Chapman is tired of being called names.
Every time she steps on the floor, opposing coaches look in her direction, point, and yell, “shooter,” which apparently gets on the nerves of the 5-foot-7 guard from East Hall.
“It gets old because they know, and it’s harder to get a shot off,” Chapman said of coaches calling her out.
That wasn’t the case last Tuesday against West Forsyth.
Despite the knowledge of her shooting prowess, the Lady Wolverines had no answer for Chapman, who made seven 3-pointers to set a new school record.
“I knew before halftime that something good was going to happen,” she said. “I was surprised at how many shots I was able to get off.”
Chapman shot a total of 10 shots in the win, and the fact that she made seven 3s came as no surprise to her coach Joey Rider.
“When she shoots it, we expect it to go in,” he said. “She’s shot well for us all year and played with a lot of confidence in that game.
“We weren’t trying to get her the ball,” he added. “It’s just that she made a couple more shots than she normally does.”
And that led to a new school record, which is special at any place, but even more so at a school rich in basketball tradition.
“I think it’s special any time you set a record, but when you do it at East Hall it means that much more,” Rider said. “It’s not like this is a new school, we’ve been playing basketball here for a real long time.”
Chapman didn’t even realize she set a new record.
“It didn’t cross my mind,” she said. “It’s pretty special to do it in a school known for basketball.”
While making seven 3s is special, Chapman, who shoots about 300 to 400 3-pointers when she practices alone, thinks she can improve on the record.
“I’ve always wanted to score 30 in a game,” she said. “So 10 will work.”
