Ryan Houston aims to be a hometown hero
Posted Dec 22, 2009
Ryan Houston never stopped believing this day would come. Houston always told his father, Anthony Houston, that he was going to continue working hard whether he carried the ball two times or 20 times. Now Houston, a former Butler High running back, is starting as a junior for the Tar Heels as they prepare to meet Pittsburgh on Saturday in the Meineke Car Care Bowl at Bank of America Stadium.
