UNC commit Malaki Hamrick put 'everything I had' into Shelby football. Now, he's a 3-time champion

Malaki Hamrick was already emotional. Then a teammate leaned down and whispered four words to the 4-star UNC football commit as he soaked in the celebration. On to Chapel Hill. After that, Hamrick said Saturday, “all my tears spilled out.” It was a justifiable sob. Shelby High School had just won its 12th NCHSAA football state championship. (Fayetteville Observer)
