The Cordia Lions senior night was a little too memorable Friday night as there was some extracurricular activity during the game.
Lions junior Richard Chapman, who was ruled as a transfer eligible during the All A Classic due to a court injunction, threw a punch at Perry Central’s and Western Kentucky signee Justin Johnson during the Lions 63-53 win.
Here is a look at the punch.

Chapman was ejected for the punch and will probably be suspended for the next couple of games of the district tournament.
Pretty wild times for Mountain basketball.
Update:
I have called a couple of people and have tried to find out what led up to the punch. The consensus was that both players were spoken to by the official earlier in the game for heated play. So I am sure there was something that led up to incident.
If anyone has prior video of this game that would show what led to this, please email them to [email protected].
Thanks
