40 ■ THE WOLFPACKER Vanceboro; kicker Steve Videtich of Win- ston-Salem; wide receiver Koren Robin- son of Belmont; linebacker Levar Fisher of Morehead City; safety Terrence Holt of Gib- sonville; linebacker Nate Irving of Teachey; cornerback David Amerson of Greensboro; specialist Nyheim Hines of Garner; and cen- ter Garrett Bradbury of Charlotte. Yet only Hines came from one of the state's current 25 largest schools of the 283 that field varsity football teams.
