Longtime friends Burney and Marshall could face off today in Chapel Hill

Posted Sep 18, 2009
They grew up five minutes apart and have been best friends since teaming up to lead their pee-wee football squad to the Super Bowl as fifth graders. But sometime today at North Carolina's Kenan Stadium, Kendric Burney and Dekota Marshall may have to get rough with one another. Burney is a starting cornerback for the Tar Heels, who'll face East Carolina today in a non-conference game. Marshall is a starting cornerback for the Pirates. (Fayetteville Observer)
