CHENNAULT

Villanova transfer Tony Chennault, who was named today as the Philahoops Preseason Newcomer of the Year, talked to Mike Kern of the Daily News about dealing with the shooting death of his older brother in May.

Very touching story. Prayers out to Chennault and his family for dealing with a horribly tragic situation. And kudos to Chennault for pushing forward and using his brother’s death as inspiration.
