March Madness magic delivers birthday wish for UNC fan

Posted Mar 16, 2017
Tar Heels fan Reva Bagwell pressed her luck and was rewarded Thursday. Bagwell leveraged her birthday to get a meet-and-greet with UNC's Justin Jackson. As the Heels practiced in Greenville, S.C., ahead of their Friday game against Texas Southern, Bagwell's sign read, "My 19th birthday wish is to meet Justin Jackson." Jackson granted that wish.
