Chester moves three wins from state title

By Tyler Sandora

Jamar Sudan has been around the Chester basketball scene for many years.

Attending the games as a youngster, being a varsity player as a freshman, and now the star of the Clippers, Sudan has seen what it takes to win.

The one thing Sudan has yet to experience is a state championship.

Chester, an eight-time PIAA champ, won its most recent title in 2012, when Sudan was a seventh-grader.

Sudan got a taste of the state tournament as a freshman, and now he is doing all he can to bring home a title to cap off his high school career.

The 6-foot-6 senior was able to extend his career for one more night as the Clippers defeated Hershey High 61-51 on Thursday night at Pottstown’s Strom Gymnasium.

“I’m playing with chip on my shoulder,” said Sudan. “We lost in the final four my freshman year, and we haven’t been back since.”

The southpaw accounted for nine points and eight rebounds in the victory, 12 of which came in the first half.
