Holmes athletic supporter Henry Overton, who passed away in 2016. Overton was known as Coach 0 in the Edenton community. The tournament was to premiere January 2018, but a winter snow storm forced the cancellation of the du als. For Plummer, it was a successful first dual. He noted that having three mats on the gym floor was considered, but due to safety and limited space, only two mats were used. “We thought that it would take us a whole lot longer, but because of what time we started, it rolled real well,” he said. “It went real well for this many teams.” He said the crowd was great and thanked the Overton family for their support. “We thank the Overton family for then- support by letting us honor their father, grandfather and father-in-law by name the tournament for him and for them passing out the awards at the end of the day.” Plummer also thanked' Lynn Dale and Denise Browder for speaking about their father before the meet. ■ He noted that the field was good considering that some teams were missing wrestlers because of the holiday break and added that the duals were very competitive. Plummer noted that Overton was a supporter of wrestling and added that Overton’s grandson was a state champion wrestler for John A. Holmes in 2003. “He was at every match home or away and always offering advice,” Plummer said of Overton. “We miss him in that comer. Just a good fella.” MCGEE Continued from IB at NHS until the late 1990s.

He noted that it was com mon for McGee to drive a bus when needed. “He was very caring,” Moore said. The North Carolina High School Athletic Association also honors Jerry McGee with a scholarship that has his name. Football impacted McGee early in his life.

FRIEDMAN Continued from 1B therein lies the “unlikely to win situation” Walker’s success puts the franchise in. The time has come for the Hornets to either re sign their fans’ favorite player to a far more ex pensive long-term exten sion or watch Kemba walk at the end of yet another middle of the pack season that ends in neither hope for next year or draft picks to provide hope for the fu ture. The way the NBA salary cap is structured, Charlotte is allowed to pay Kemba more than any other team and for a year longer than any other organization. It’s money he has earned, and I wouldn’t dare fault the man if he demanded it.

He has heart and grit and all the other things people say about tough and undersized ath letes. Still, he’s an undersized guard who plays below the rim, can be a defensive li ability due to his size, turns 30 next year and wants the Hornets to sign him to a five-year extension. Walker has never had playoff success and I don’t see how having less money to provide to a supporting cast will get Charlotte clos er to their goal of being a contender. I say trade Kemba Walk er now. Yeah, I said it. David Friedman is a long time sports writer and lifelong fan. David can be reached via e-mail atfourthandlongcolumn@ gmail.com.
