Jackson Simmons has monster game in front of Roy Williams
Posted Jan 20, 2011
How secretive was North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams' visit to Sylva on Wednesday? Even Smoky Mountain boys coach Jimmy Cleaveland said he didn't know until his team took the floor for a Western North Carolina Athletic Conference game with Pisgah. Future Tar Heels walk-on Jackson Simmons gave Williams an eyeful by leading the Mustangs with 24 points and 26 rebounds in a 79-53 blowout of the Black Bears.
