In today’s news: Carrboro police identify the victim and arrest a suspect in a homicide that took place Thursday. Also: a scholarship fund is established for a former Carrboro High School girls’ basketball coach who was killed in Raleigh earlier this month; and OWASA officials tout a reclaimed-water system that has saved our community billions of gallons of water – and helped avoid water restrictions during this summer’s drought. And in sports: UNC football opens its season with a 15-10 win over TCU – and Carolina volleyball and men’s soccer also get weekend wins – but the Tar Heel field hockey team struggles with a pair of season-opening upset losses.
