Barth in the booth? Not without a haircut

Posted Aug 12, 2006

Connor Barth has the look of a calm, cool and collected big-time college kicker. His wavy, curly, golden locks are a unique-but-perfect combination for his strong right leg, one that has already sent the likes of powerhouse Miami packing in defeat. But does he have the look of a television sports anchor? "Oh yeah, he'd have to," WECT sports director Bob Bonner joked when asked if Barth's hair would need a serious trimming to sit in one of the station's anchor seats. (Wilmington Star News)
