RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – A man who Fuquay-Varina police noticed because of a broken headlight and pursued over the smell of marijuana from his car could face life in prison after a jury found him guilty this week of drug and gun charges linked to a high-speed chase with a child in his car nearly a year ago, officials said Friday.
Coaching mentor returns to sidelines
It’s been said that a good coach can serve as a mentor, guiding athletes through challenges and triumphs and instilling values that transcend the realm of sports. You can count Northampton County’s John Brown into that category – twice. After leaving the bench and hanging up his whistle and clipboard following 18 years of service at Lasker’s Northeast Academy, Brown returned just a few years ago – first as a...
Liqudia sues FDA over tentative approval of its main drug
Liquidia, a Morrisville biotechnology company with scientific roots at UNC-Chapel Hill, sued the U.S. Food and Drug Administration this week, saying the federal agency improperly delayed the approval of its lead drug. Why it matters: For years, Liquidia has worked toward getting full approval for its drug Yutrepia, an inhaled powder that treats patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The FDA's delay could impact the company's ability to grow locally and hurt its stock price. Driving the news: Earlier this month, the FDA granted tentative approval for Liquidia's drug rather than full approval, citing existing three-year exclusivity rights for rival United...

UNC football fans enjoying a home game at Kenan Stadium have grown used to a familiar, if underwhelming, pregame experience.

Mack Brown alleges teams tampered with star RB Omarion Hampton, offered 'four times as much' as North Carolina
North Carolina running back Omarion Hampton is the bright spot on a Tar Heels offense that lost loads of firepower this offseason to the NFL, but according to coach Mack Brown, the prized ballcarrier — who is on a short list of candidates to lead the nation in rushing during the 2024 campaign — had opportunities to leave the program, too. Opposing teams allegedly lined up at the door to sweep Hampton away from UNC, offering him "four times as much" in NIL money to leave Chapel Hill, Brown claimed.

UNC's 'Experimental Suites' Might Be the Most Embarrassing Idea of the Year
If I was looking to buy North Carolina season tickets and someone pitched me on one of these "experimental suites", I think I'd cuss them out. What is the idea here, exactly? So you're buying a "suite" of wooden bar chairs far less comfortable than the permanent seats right next to them — credit to UNC for having padded seats, that's a win — in a bad location where nobody was buying tickets, but you get a little bit of shade from a glorified beach tent? At least they also look terrible and embarrassing.
