On the road again

Chris Boatman has motored his way over to Southfield-Lathrup.

The local senior boys basketball standout, who played the past two seasons at Class C Southfield Bradford – earning all-league honors both years – and competed with Southfield in the summer, is now at Southfield-Lathrup and will be eligible next month.

Boatman is a rock steady point guard and has the chance to make a significant impact with the Chargers on the Class A level in his final semester on the high school hardwood. His presence in the backcourt come January will open up things even more for superstar senior combo guard Jon-Jon Williams (Toledo), currently pumping in 35 points per game.

Last season at Bradford, Boatman averaged 16 points, seven assists and two steals an outing for a state-ranked Bulldogs squad.

Lathrup is currently 2-2, riding a two-game win streak, collecting down-to-the-wire triumphs over Windsor Forrester on Saturday and defending Class D state champion, Southfield Christian Tuesday.
