RALEIGH, N.C. — We're celebrating WFMY News 2 turning 75 by opening the News 2 Vault.
April 11, 1970, was a big day for the NC State Wolfpack fans!
That's the day Coach Norm Sloan announced Tommy Burleson committed to play basketball for NC State.
The seven-foot-two center was heavily recruited out of Avery County. He selected NC State and eventually helped lead the team to their first national championship in 1974.
He went on to play in the NBA for seven seasons before moving back to Avery County.
