Posted Apr 7, 2016
The 2016 ACC Barnstorming Tour made its first stop in Rockingham on Wednesday. Two Tar Heel players — point guard Marcus Paige and center Joel James — were on hand to compete. Brice Johnson was scheduled to appear but wasn’t able to attend due to taking a class. Paige said that after he graduates, he will find an agent and start preparing for the NBA Draft.
