Zeller hopes to add his jersey into Smith Center rafters

Should the senior center win the award, for which he is a favorite, he’ll also be admitted into the club of Tar Heel greats whose jerseys hang with honor from the Smith Center rafters. It’s a possibility he addressed at a press conference Monday. (Wilmington Star News)
