Listen to Ron Stutts broadcast today’s “Good News Friday!”

 

Earlier this week it was announced that former Tar Heel, Harrison Barnes, was selected to play for Team USA in this year’s Summer Olympics!

Barnes will be the 13th former Tar Heel to play men’s basketball in the Olympics for Team USA, and first since Vince Carter back in 2000.   – Who can forget 2 young Tar Heels on the 1984 Olympics team, by the names of Sam Perkins and Michael Jordan!

The Olympics opening ceremony takes place August 5th in Rio De Janeiro and with qualifying in other sports taking place throughout the summer, you can expect there to many more Tar Heels in multiple sports participating in this summer’s Olympics.
