Wayne Central High School is hosting “Unguarded: A Conversation with Chris Herren”, on Monday, April 15 at 7 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center, located at 6200 Ontario Center Road, Ontario Center.

A former NBA player, Chris Herren was a high school basketball legend from Fall River, Massachusetts, who realized his lifelong dream of playing for the Boston Celtics only to lose it all to alcohol and drug addiction.

Sober since August 1, 2008, he has refocused his life to put his sobriety and family above all else.

He shares his story of abuse and recovery in his memoir, Basketball Junkie, as well as in numerous interviews throughout the ESPN documentary Unguarded, of which he is the subject.

In what might very well be the best comeback in Section 5 girls basketball this season, the No. 2 Lyons Lions overcame a 17-point deficit with a minute, 54 seconds left in the third quarter to claw their way back to a nail-biting, bleacher-rocking 58-57 victory over No. 3 Harley-Allendale-Columbia. Lyons junior Hannah Lester hit a 5-foot bank shot just outside the paint on the right side with 6.1 left on the clock that proved to be the game winner.
 
Lions sophomore guard Ja’teria Wells fueled the Lions (18-2) with 10 first-quarter points en route to her career high 23 on the night. With 1:22 left in the first quarter Lyons held on to a 15-9 lead, but HAC (18-3) managed to cut the lead to three points as Kayli O’Keefe dropped in the first of her four 3-pointers on the night. The Lyons turned the ball over and freshman Abby O’Keefe drove the lane, bringing the Wolves within one to end the first frame.
