Former Athens coach falls; prayers would help

[sportfolio]

Longtime Athens boys basketball coach Charles McAfee fell twice in recent weeks and suffered some serious injuries including a broken leg and he is currently at Hickory Creek Nursing Center in The Plains. McAfee,who turned 92 in March, was on hand to receive his latest honor in the Ohio Hoop Zone Hall of Fame in May. Prayers would be nice -- it is hard to find a better gentleman than Mac.

Coach McAfee is one of the most honorable and gracious men that I have had the honor of knowing. He was a class act when either winning or losing,but most of the time it was winning.Get well quick coach. Prayers are with you.

Very well said.

Coach McAfee is such a respected man that has given so much to the young men and women of Athens County. This man has enjoyed so much success in his life and received many honors yet if you visit his home, the trophies are not on display. Photos of his teams and family are what you will see - - and basketball and kids are what Mac will speak about. I can't find adequate words to describe the respect I have for this man. Please get well soon...
