Long, strange trip for Flagg
Posted Oct 19, 2006
Wesley Flagg was supposed to be in New Berlin, N.Y., right now attending Milford Academy. But instead Flagg will be in Charlottesville, Va., today where he’s expected to play a major role for the North Carolina Tar Heels as they kick off the second half of their 2006 season against Virginia. Flagg was shifted from middle to outside linebacker earlier this week due to an injury that has sidelined senior Larry Edwards.
