City, county devote May 25 to Roy Williams

Posted May 26, 2008

North Carolina men’s basketball coach Roy Williams gets the same feeling driving home to Asheville now as he did coming home in his “Blue Goose” Ford Mustang decades ago. Williams came home this time as part of Roy Williams Day, a fundraiser for the Carolina Covenant charity held Sunday night at Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa. Carolina Covenant is a program that allows low-income students to attend UNC. (Asheville Citizen-Times)
