A Tar Heel born celebrates UNC win

Posted Dec 12, 2013
I saw something last week I have never seen before. It was in a video clip on GoHeels.com of the players celebrating on their return to the Dean Dome at 3 a.m. Thursday after unranked UNC had stunned No. 1 Michigan State a few hours earlier in East Lansing. Jackson Simmons, the 6-7 junior from Webster in Jackson County, was buck dancing to the Carolina fight song. (Hendersonville Lightning)
