Athletic Hall of Fame On February 9, six individuals were inducted into the Hall. The organization seeks to recognize those who have made significant contributions to athletics at Chaminade Julienne and its predecessor schools, and help perpetuate the spirit of pride and loyalty. Warm and amicable —that’s Megan Duffy. But it was a different Duffy that showed up on the battlefield in her heyday at CJ. The former all-everything basketball wonder was inducted into the CJ Athletic Hall of Fame in February along with Dave Krebs ‘70, Ryan Sullivan ‘96, Andre Chattams ‘02, Eric Wills ‘91 and special inductee Jim Brooks. Duffy, the 28-year-old, who now calls Arlington, Virginia home, has run the gauntlet in her amazing basketball life, from prep stardom at CJ, to an All- American guard at Notre Dame, to the Minnesota Lynx and the New York Liberty, to collegiate coaching. The four-year captain of the Eagles finished with career averages of 15.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 steals per game despite a nagging ankle injury her senior season. She holds CJ’s single game records for points (37), assists (10), and steals (six). As a freshman, she led the 1999 Eagles to a state championship. During Megan’s career with the Irish, she earned All-American honors all four seasons and posted a 15.5 scoring average. In 2006, she earned the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award for outstanding female player in the country under 5’8”. She was drafted 31st overall in the WNBA by the Minnesota Lynx and cut a promising two-year career short saying, “I always wanted to coach and I felt I was ready to move on.” After three years as an assistant coach, she became associate head coach at George Washington University a year ago. SPRING 2013 10 Her competitive spirit surfaces when recalling her “best memory” which doesn’t involve basketball. It’s on the golf course. Megan was team captain and number one player on the boys team before CJ fielded a girls team. “Other schools were also short of players and had girls playing, but the most fun I had was beating the boys.” She was a four-year pick on the boys All-Dayton team. A look at other inductees Dave Krebs ‘70 is the only known CJ tennis product who went to state as both a player and a coach. The three-time team MVP had an impressive career record which was highlighted by back-to-back undefeated regular seasons in singles his junior and senior year. As a coach, he helped lead the 1973 team to state. Krebs is currently retired after a 33-year career as a CPA at GM Delphi and is married to Betty (Westendorf) ‘73. Ryan Sullivan ‘96 was the star middle linebacker, starting running back and punter and voted team MVP and GCL 1995 Defensive Player of the Year. He received first team All-Area honors and honorable mention All-State his senior year. The three-year starter ended his career top five on CJ's tackles list (358 in 80 games) and averaged 35 yards per punt. Today, he lives in Dayton with his wife Julie and their three sons. "The best part about being a CJ Eagle was the friendships formed with my coaches and teammates." Andre Chattams ‘02 is remembered by most Eagle fans as streaking 85-yards down the field for a TD, or being selected as one of the top 100 prep players in the country his senior year, but the 29-yearold former star receiver believes his greatest highlight was just getting to play football for CJ coaching great Jim Place. Chattams’ tremendous career at CJ earned him a full scholarship to Purdue University. He is currently working as a disciplinarian at Auburn Gresham Charter School in Chicago. Eric Wills ‘91 is most commonly known as the kid who hit “The Shot” to knock off Alter in the fourth overtime of the 1991 Sectional Finals. However, it was his record-setting three-point shooting season that earned him a spot in the Hall. His 44 percent 3-point shooting record lasted for more than 20 years and helped propel the Eagles to a state runner-up his senior year. He earned a full scholarship to Wright State University and played professionally in Europe. Wills was “shocked and overjoyed at Hall selection.” He is currently living in Dayton and working for PNC Mortgage. Jim Brooks has piled up men’s and women’s Coach-of-Year awards 15 times, six times in the GGCL, twice in the GCL, and seven times from the Miami Valley Coaches Association. In 2012, he received the Ohio Tennis Coaches Association Sportsmanship Award. He has racked up a 141-118 men’s mark and 216-72 girl’s record. A teacher since 1980, Brooks has led 25 individual student-athletes, and six teams to the State during his 13-year career as head coach. V
