Eric Montross was one of the best people in sports

Posted Dec 23, 2023
In 50 plus years of covering sports in the Triangle, Eric Montross was one of the best people I ever met. He was a warrior on the basketball court. This is a guy who once said, “If you don’t get a little blood on you you’re not playing hard enough.” Eric also exhibited great character off the court. He started a basketball camp for fathers and their sons. (WRAL Sports Fan)
