Here’s a throwback Luke Maye picture you must see – and the story behind it

Posted Mar 30, 2017
In 2002, as part of a “Where Are They Now?” feature, former North Carolina quarterback Mark Maye posed for The Charlotte Observer with his four young sons. Carefully holding his baby brother Drake in the picture is 5-year-old Luke Maye, the hero of UNC’s last-second win over Kentucky Sunday. This week I showed that picture to Luke’s parents.
