Zac Bennett signs to wrestle at N. Carolina

Posted Nov 1, 2008
Zac Bennett chose Carolina Blue, in part, because of green. Not the green of money – although the full scholarship he received to wrestle at UNC certainly played a role. It was the campus in Chapel Hill that first attracted him. The Westmont Hilltop senior, who signed a letter-of-intent on Friday to wrestle for the Tar Heels, said he first fell in love with UNC when he was 9 or 10. He and his father, Nick, stopped in to see the campus on a wrestling trip and it made a lasting impression. (Johnstown Tribune Democrat)
