Recalling Charlie Justice's extraordinary career

Posted Dec 25, 2009
North Carolina is playing in a bowl game Saturday, which seems like the time to recall the career of Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice, the best football player to come out of Asheville. Justice attended Lee Edwards High, which later became Asheville High. During a prep career that included games against other nationally acclaimed teams, Justice played 32 games over a three-year span and gained 4,005 yards. (Asheville Citizen-Times)
