Weddington has 1 of NC's best sports programs, and their athletes are scholars. @WHSWarriors has won state titles in nearly every sport. Could this be the year for 11-0 boys hoops? They have some shooters. A.J. Cook scored 22 without missing a shot on 2/16 https://t.co/HoAyinEqAI

Well said Mr. Evans.

If you can support & cheer for me while I’m on the field, but can’t when it comes to real life issues that African Americans face on a daily.. You know where you stand with me. It’s Deeper than the surface. ❗️ #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/2Z0mMT0Ff0

Still can't get out of my head the slow motion murder of George Floyd by a policeman while handcuffed & begging for his life as other cops stood by. Don't let the small % of rioters muddle the message. I stand with the peaceful protestors against racism, oppression & brutality. https://t.co/5E2SgSMpJZ

Clemson won the recruiting war 4 @BigDubFootball 5-star RB @willshipley2021. Will checks every box - fast/quick, great hands, determined, selfless, A-honor roll. Best athlete 2 come thru Union Co. since Jamison Crowder. Not afraid 2 compare him 2 @CMC_22 https://t.co/fdqiLn5ihE

Can't think of any 3 immediate family members from the area, other than Dell Curry's crew, who could beat the Tyson trio in 3-on-3. Jonathan (6'7") was good at Wingate, Hunter (6'8") hoops 4 Clemson and Cade (6'6") will play in college too Any challengers? https://t.co/qRl41aq0jv https://t.co/qTaOs44fCi

During a crisis, it's nice to read uplifting stories. Tripp Collins is inspiring. He had brain surgery that removed part of his skull in 2017. Since then he's won 2 state wrestling titles & will chase a 3rd in 2021. #Free2read Great work by @Mrunioncounty https://t.co/x9999Vpx3x https://t.co/g4iI5Gdcz9

Sam Howell @Sam_Howell2 will become the first true freshman QB to ever start on opening day for UNC @TarHeelFootball on 8/31/19. @EnquirerJournal just released a 10-minute documentary on Howell's career. It's called "Sam's story" https://t.co/MU5Ex4KjD3 https://t.co/7MUMIgJDwL

Whether you base it on MLB draft, state titles or scholarships, Union Co. stacks up per capita as the best high school baseball in NC. The E-J's 2019 all-county baseball team drops 6/13 @ dawn. Award winners: Cooper McKeehan Steven Gonzalez Kyle McKernan Tripp Arant Trey Putman https://t.co/E6MeX4aanF

4-star QB Sam Howell @Sam_Howell2 accepted his diploma with Sun Valley High's Class of 2019 at Cabarrus Arena in Concord Saturday. Howell is the best high school football player in Union County history. Tremendously gifted QB with an outstanding future at UNC and beyond. https://t.co/2SIXt2XAm0

MLB has drafted 7 pitchers from Union County since 2015. First-rounder Brennan Malone (D-backs) is the latest, and if he signs will become a millionaire at 18. Who's next? ECU's @jakekuchmaner Malone is first N.C. athlete born in the 2000s to get drafted https://t.co/pYwdNbJXqS https://t.co/Da7t5UZl3f

Former @appstatesports RB/WR Johnny Sowell returned to his alma mater & has won state titles as head coach in football & basketball @ Monroe High. In Q&A on his career, shares publicly for 1st time how @nyjets WR J-Crowder won NC hoops title w/ broken hand https://t.co/YN9vdLhRso https://t.co/OO8jcfD3zP

You have to respect a player willing to sacrifice his body over and over for his team the way Hunter Tyson did at Pitt. It was inspiring. EVERY coach wants a player who wants it that bad. #teamplayer

Clemson Basketball @ClemsonMBB

.@h_tyson5 was making plays all over the floor last night 😤💪🔥 #ClemsonGRIT https://t.co/RfU028UBIK

Clemson freshman forward Hunter Tyson had the best game of his college career in Wednesday's win at Pittsburgh. He was 3-for-5 on 3's but it was his willingness to scrape his knees and elbows that stood out the most. He was a catalyst. https://t.co/og86fJbpFs @piedmontHighBC https://t.co/aZj7WbeRkf

It’s amazing to me that other “media” think it is OK to steal content from another media outlet and use it without permission. Some of us call that copyright infringement.

Kemba Walker's hosting the NBA All-Star Game and the Spectrum Center will erupt when he's introduced Sunday night. @hornets guard says "making the All-Star Game is always surreal to me. I have to pinch myself to make sure it's really happening." https://t.co/NM4guccvjd https://t.co/0WLuaHFcXC

E-J senior sportswriter Jeremy Vernon @jbo_vernon has compiled his list of the Top 10 sports stories in Union County for 2018 & it includes future Hall of Famers, a lot of state champions and a projected top 10 pick in the 2019 MLB Draft https://t.co/PAi3GPWReF https://t.co/96kQR8U5tw
