Way to go @carolinewills03

There isn’t a head coach pictured with the Ledford boys basketball team. Ann Ferguson doesn’t like to draw attention to the novelty of her situation: as a woman coaching a boys team. But here’s why you should be watching @NewsandRecord/@JournalNow : greensboro.com/sports/high-sc…

@UNCKirschner Can’t wait to watch it. Will be at the game Saturday, hope to see you.

Privileged to have watched advance copy. Every Tar Heel will thoroughly enjoy. Great highlights, interviews with the players & staff, home movies that go behind the scenes & heartfelt memories of loved ones lost. Premieres Saturday after UNC-Wake Forest on ACC Network. #GoHeels

Banks Marion wasn’t supposed to make it this far. With a rare heart defect, every day is hard. But each time his parents thinks it’s the end, Banks throws his little arms into the air. While a family fights, their community rallies: @NewsandRecord greensboro.com/life-entertain…

"We're No. 1: 1993 UNC Tar Heels" coming January 10 on @accnetwork 📺 🔗 goheels.com/news/2025/12/2…

NC high school football playoffs begin. First up for me: @RJRAthletics takes on West Cabarrus in the Demons’ first appearance since 2018. Follow along for updates and analysis below or at @JournalNow: journalnow.com/sports/high-sc…

Recapping my coverage of #UNC women's tennis' run in the ACC tournament so far. First, with my story on first-year Claire Hill, who clinched the victory over Stanford on Friday. On being "thrown into the fire" and returning home for @dthsports: dailytarheel.com/article/2025/0…

As tears dripped down her cheeks, senior Carson Tanguilig couldn’t pinpoint exactly what went wrong for her. It felt like “everything.” On Wednesday, No. 4 UNC fell to No. 9 Duke, 4-2, despite winning the opening doubles point. For @dthsports dailytarheel.com/article/2025/0…

Recapping my #UNC tennis coverage from the weekend: Sophomore Thea Rabman had a long conversation with her coaches on Thursday. She needed advice after back-to-back singles losses. Then, she put it into action against SMU. dailytarheel.com/article/2025/0…

After Hubert Davis announced in early February his intentions to hire a general manager, I spoke with other GMs on campus about their perspective on the job. A story I wrote heading into last night’s game against N.C. State for @dthsports: dailytarheel.com/article/2025/0…

Thanks to @carolinewills03 for making us sound much better than we actually are in her @dailytarheel story. Appreciate them including us in their pre-Duke coverage. dailytarheel.com/article/2025/0…

@UNCKirschner @UNCKirschner it led to one of my favorite Coach Smith quotes of all time, “what loyalty I have had…”. We all know how loyal he was and for him to feel that loyalty in return. Really special. Will never be another one like him. Miss you Coach.

Coach Smith wanted to announce by press release. I said with all due respect we can’t do it that way. So he told Coach Guthridge to practice at the same time so the players wouldn’t have to attend. BG said no we can’t do that either. So retirement didn’t start off as planned.

Fiona Crawley isn’t quiet on the court. She yells. She jumps in the air. She gestures to the crowd. She even spins like a ballerina when she wins a monumental point.  More on how her energy carried North Carolina to victory in my latest for @dthsports! dailytarheel.com/article/2024/0…

The reigning national champions are back in action this weekend for the start of their indoor season. Check out my preview of No. 1 UNC’s early spring season and decorated roster of returners!

She never wanted it to be “the Erin show.” But when you’re the youngest Division-I head coach to win a national championship, the implications can’t be ignored. My column: “Sorry Erin Matson, but this national championship is about you.” dailytarheel.com/article/2023/1…

Miss you Coach.

The reactive hands of junior linebacker Power Echols and graduate defensive back Armani Chatman, coupled with pressure on the quarterback, limited the Golden Gophers to just one touchdown. Story by @carolinewills03: dailytarheel.com/dbe97db6-1fe0-…

Congrats @UNC_wtennis !!

Thanks for having us, @UNCFootball! 👋

Almost that time again...
