Отрывок из книги
Duke coach Eddie Cameron landed the bulk of the great Durham High teams of the 1940s – football-basketball star Bob Gantt, the Loftis brothers and (a year later) Gordon Carver. But he missed the big prize, Horace “Bones” McKinney, who got his nickname not from his spindly frame but from the part he once had in a high school play.

That would be McKinney’s last season at N.C. State. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and spent the rest of the war playing for the Fort Bragg base team. Released in 1945, McKinney decided to pursue a degree in physical education. Since that was not offered at his old school in Raleigh, he elected to enroll at UNC, where he joined an already powerful team that boasted stars in John “Hook” Dillon and Jim Jordan, the latter a standout at St. Mary’s who was transferred to UNC by the Navy.
Horace “Bones” McKinney went to N.C. State , then to UNC.
