Top 10 Moments of the Decade in North Carolina Sports

Ranking the top 10 moments from the last decade in North Carolina sports.

When you have three major professional sports teams and legendary programs like Duke, North Carolina, and N.C. State, there are inevitably going to be historic sports moments taking place in our state.

The college programs made up for a lackluster ten years in professional sports, as the Hornets, Hurricanes, and Panthers combined for only eight playoff appearances in 10 years. In basketball, there were two NCAA basketball championships and a host of conference championships.

Then there were the players. From Cam Newton to Kemba Walker. Cam Ward to Andrei Svechnikov. Luke Kuechly, Christian McCaffrey, Marcus Paige, Zion Williamson,

The next decade is set up to be even better. There is a bevy of young stars ready to make their mark for the next ten years.

Hurricanes star Andrei Svechnikov is only 19 years old and already leads the Hurricanes in points. He also has a claim to one of the hardest plays in the history of hockey.

Freshman guard Cole Anthony is going to be a star at North Carolina if he can get healthy. McCaffrey has a claim to be the best running back in the NFL. The Hornets and Panthers will have the chance to add stars in the early picks of their drafts this spring. If the next decade is anything like the last 10 years, we are in for a real treat. Here are the top plays and moments of the last decade.
