The Paul Laurence Dunbar High School coach watched his star guard lead the Bulldogs to a 2016 Kentucky state title as a junior.
Chalk then got a close-up look this year as Hollingsworth earned the state’s top individual honor. The Lexington native posted 28.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.1 steals per game on his way to being named Mr. Basketball.
Chalk got the chance to coach Hollingsworth one last time Saturday at the Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic. He wasn’t surprised at all when the Western Kentucky signee scored 18 points and earned team MVP honors in a game that featured 14 Scout.
