Fedora's downfall came from a promise he made in Greensboro that he ultimately couldn't keep

Posted Nov 26, 2018
Larry Fedora stood before virtually every high school football coach in North Carolina back in the summer of 2012.

And sitting here more than six years later, his words that day ring hollow. (Greensboro News & Record)
