Heels following fathers' leads
Posted Aug 17, 2006
Every time North Carolina linebacker Mark Paschal walks into the locker room, he passes a picture showing his father on the ground, blocking for Amos Lawrence. "My teammates give me a hard time about it," the sophomore said, grinning. "But for me ... it adds something more to the experience. It's a source of pride." For the program, too. Paschal is one of three current Tar Heels whose fathers played football at UNC.
