HELP PICK NORTH CAROLINA'S GREATEST SPORTS MOMENT!
The North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame wants you to vote in a new program called Great Moments in North Carolina Sports History. They began with nearly two dozen Great Moments (you can find them listed at www.ncshof.org) and asked approximately 100 North Carolinians, including members of the Hall of Fame, to reduce the list to just five.
Now it's up to you! Please pick the historic occasion you think is the most significant Greatest Moment ever in North Carolina sports.
