Collectively, … Continue reading Diary of a Student Athlete: Wolfpack Invitational

Camenisch decided that something needed to be done when the paramedics on one of his … Continue reading Air ambulance pilot seeks to promote fitness with new App
Daniel Johnson Staff Writer Yao Ming, Allen Iverson, and Shaquille O’Neal headlined the 2016 NBA Hall of Fame Class. The three players all were the No. 1 pick in the years they were drafted (Shaq in 1992 by the Orlando Magic, Iverson in 1996 by the Philadelphia 76ers, and Yao in 2002 by the Houston Rockets), making it the most first picks in a … Continue reading Did You Know
Andrew James Staff Writer The sports calendar still has a World Series, NBA tip-off, and a good slice of the NFL season to go through first, but college basketball is getting closer. Just recently, UNCG’s full schedules were released online. The women’s team will start out the year hosting Brevard, a Division III school of just 718 students.

It seems that on any slow week in the world, a simple Google search or news report will produce solid gold from these special individuals. In the world of … Continue reading Things that won’t die: twinkies, cockroaches, and Tim Tebow
Daniel Johnson Sports Editor I can’t think of any professional athlete’s career more interesting in recent memory than that of San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Coming out of Nevada, the tall, skinny signal caller was considered one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in recent memory and the eventual future leader of the 49ers. However, with the arrival of head coach Jim Harbaugh and … Continue reading The interesting career of Colin Kaepernick
