Dean Smith Was a legendary coach at the UNC. He coached a lot of good players like James Worthy and Michael Jordan. He won 7
national championships 3 with James Worthy and 2 with Michael Jordan. I think He is the best coach ever. He thought coaching as
teaching.
Carolina Panthers is the only NFL football team that North Carolina has ever had. They lost the super bowl in 2004. They
lost win they dropped a pass. The panthers is my favorite football team. I
love their mascot he is so cool!
PanthersMy favorite player was Julius Peppers until he went to the Chicago bears. He is such a
trader. Now my favorite player is Steve Smith. The worst part is
when Jake Delhome threw all those interceptions last year.
One game he threw 4 interceptions. I’m glad he’s not
on the team anymore.
Appalachian State in Boone, NC Has always had a great football program. They won
