100 in 100: Buncombe County’s Charlie ‘Choo Choo’ Justice, UNC’s runaway train

Posted Apr 1, 2020
Some athletes get statues in their honor. A select few get a bust in a hall of fame. Charlie Justice has both. The Asheville native was so special as a football player that he has been given a truly unique tribute by his alma mater North Carolina. In honor of his uniform No. 22, the 22-yard lines on both sides of the field at Kenan Stadium are painted blue. (North State Journal)
