UNC men’s lacrosse finds inspiration in 9-year-old teammate

UNC Men's Lacrosse has an extra teammate cheering them on from the sidelines — 9-year-old Noah Clifton. Noah was born with a gap between his trachea and esophagus and other anomalies. Noah can’t go to school or play sports, but his parents wanted him involved in something. A friend whose son was in Team IMPACT told them about the program. (UNC.edu)
