Posted May 26, 2017
It wasn’t the first time Kennedy Meeks had returned to his alma mater, where he won a high school state championship and MVP honors in 2011. But this day - nearly eight weeks after UNC won its sixth NCAA championship - was for him. “I’m proud to be from here” said Meeks, a Charlotte native. “This is the city that built me and created me into the man I am today.” (Charlotte Observer)
