North Carolina forward Garrison Brooks faces hometown team

Posted Mar 28, 2019
Before he was a Tar Heel, North Carolina forward Garrison Brooks was a kid from LaFayette, Alabama at Auburn High School. Brooks came of age as a basketball player for the Tigers, which translated to a state title game appearance in 2017 and a spot at one of college basketball’s blue blood programs. “I'm not going to make it so much about me,” Brooks said.
