TO THE EDITOR:
Thank you, Marcus Paige. I have followed you the past four years. You have shown us what a great athlete and man you have become. The speech you gave giving thanks to Coach Roy Williams brought everyone to tears. You stated that this year was not your greatest year. I beg to differ.
This year was your finest year. Your maturity on and off the court, the way you handle adversity, the way you handle life. It will be hard not watching you play for the Tar Heels next year, but I, along with others, hope you get that chance in the NBA.
We wish you well Marcus. Thanks for all the memories, Mr. Paige. And thank you, Coach Williams. You did a fine job.
