Tar Heels, Blue Devils renew their Tobacco Road rivalry

Posted Feb 7, 2006

Separated by less than 11 miles, Duke/North Carolina has always had the feel of a neighborhood get-together. To Duke senior Sean Dockery and North Carolina freshman Bobby Frasor, tonight’s game will bring back memories of competing against each other while growing up in Chicago. “I’m (from) down the hill, he’s up the hill,” said Dockery, who last talked to Frasor when the two were home last summer. “He lived within walking distance.” (Shelby Star)
