Prince of Pittsboro: Inside Pat Welter’s journey to document Drake Powell’s story
Pittsboro, NC – In the world of high school sports, few stories captivate a community like the rise of a local star. I had a chance to sit down for a quick conversation with Pat Welter, a WRAL-TV sports journalist, at the ACC Football Kickoff. We delved a little into his documentary, “Prince of Pittsboro,” which follows the journey of Drake Powell, a standout basketball player from Northwood High School in Pittsboro. The film not only highlights Powell’s athletic prowess but also explores the dynamics of a community rallying around its young talent. With over 28,000 views, this documentary has resonated with audiences beyond just Chatham County.
