I’m a 1993 graduate of Wingate University. I’ve been covering N.C. high school sports for over 25 years.

VTO Sports hosted their annual VTO Sports Elite 100 Football Combine at Durham County Stadium in Durham on Sunday May 21st. The event was very successful as 197 players from all over the United States and Canada participated. Each player got quality teaching and techniques from former college/NFL players. The highlight of the event is the one-on-one competitions where the players can show off their talents.
