Special game for former teammates

Posted Nov 1, 2006

By name, special teams always are special. But that description will be especially fitting for Cooter Arnold and Raeshon McNeil on Saturday. Arnold and McNeil, high school teammates and longtime friends, will meet on the field for the first time as college players when North Carolina's football team plays at No. 11 Notre Dame. "It's going to be fun," said Arnold, a sophomore at UNC. "I'm going to get after him." (Durham Herald-Sun)
