A great career decision

Posted Jun 6, 2007

Dee Hardison never considered his football talent anything special as a sophomore at Hobbton High School in the early 1970s. Hardison would spend 15 years in uniform after graduating from Hobbton in 1974. But instead of wearing Army fatigues, Hardison dressed as a Tar Heel, a Buffalo Bill, a Giant, a Charger and a Chief during a successful football career that led to Hardison’s recent induction into the N.C. Sports Hall of Fame. (Fayetteville Observer)
