UNC alum Mick Mixon set to retire as Carolina Panthers' play-by-play announcer after season

Posted Nov 18, 2021
Mick Mixon thought he’d play baseball. And in his mid-20s, he was the play-by-play voice of the Maine Guides until the team’s owner lost the team in a court decision. So, he came back for what he thought would be one year doing games at his alma mater, UNC, with the legendary Woody Durham. One year, though, melted into 16 before Mick got a call. (FOX 8 WGHP)
