P.J. Hairston hopes home means cobbler, wins

Posted Mar 15, 2012
There are plenty of reasons for UNC’s P.J. Hairston to get excited about playing his first NCAA tournament game Friday in his hometown: a familiar arena, plenty of family to cheer him on. “And maybe,’’ he added, grinning, “I can get my dad to sneak me over some peach cobbler.” Not just any peach cobbler, mind you, but the cobbler at Boss Hog's Bar-B-Que, a soul food joint on East Bessemer Avenue that his dad’s family has run for 22 years.
