UNC Withers fulfilling his coaching destiny, with a little help from Hoggard’s Braswell
Posted Aug 19, 2011
The first time Scott Braswell saw Everett Withers, it was on the practice field at West Charlotte High School in 1980. Braswell was a volunteer assistant coach finishing up his degree at nearby UNC Charlotte at the time while Withers was a senior defensive back and one of the team’s best players. But even then, Braswell – now the head coach at Wilmington’s Hoggard High – had a sense of what the future held for his young protégé.
