Posted Jul 28, 2009
The first family of North Carolina kicking is lined up to be back in the starting role this fall. Tar Heels coach Butch Davis said Monday afternoon at the ACC Football Kickoff that sophomore Casey Barth of Hoggard High School is slated for kickoffs, extra points and field goals this fall. "He's the guy," Davis said. Jay Wooten, who split time with Barth in the role last year, is not on this season's roster. (Wilmington Star News)
