Phil Ford, Sharon Couch-Sikes Recognized As Trailblazers

Posted Feb 22, 2016
When Phil Ford was setting scoring and assist records for the Carolina men’s basketball team in the late 1970s, he never imagined he as creating a path for student-athletes to follow. But Saturday, Ford was honored for just that. Ford joined former track and field star Sharon Couch-Sikes at center court of the Smith Center to receive the third annual Tar Heel Trailblazers award.
