Twin Counties Players March On

Now that the North Carolina Coaches Association has now concluded their convention in Greensboro and all the All Stars games are concluded every senior high school players have now finished their high school careers.  There are some that will move on to college and continue playing sports.  Before I even start I know somewhere along the way I have missed one but here is a list compiled as the year has gone on of those players that are fortunate enough to keep playing varsity sports in college  from the Twin county area.  If you see one that I have missed please pass it on to me because I don't want anyone deserving be left out.

There is no doubt the Twin County area is a sports mecca.  Todd Gurley Tarboro, Montrezl Harrell North Edgecombe, Brian Goodwin Rocky Mount, Benton Moss Rocky Mount, Collins Cuthrell Rocky Mount  are all still active in professional sports after their college days.  I wonder who in the class of 2016 will join them.
