Uncertain opener no pain in the neck for young Tar Heels

Posted Nov 10, 2017

It’s a condition that only got worse when the Hall of Fame coach learned that grad transfer Cameron Johnson wouldn’t be available because of a strained neck suffered in practice earlier in the week. Williams need not have worried, though. (North State Journal)
