The Myrtle Beach story, the buzzing fax machine (hey, this was 1997!), the movie shoot (wait, what?), the games against soon-to-be NBA and NFL players -- it's all here in the bonus episode of 1-2-3 Wildcats. Thanks to everyone for sticking with us since launch in November. And make sure you stick around to the end, for more BFitz wizardry.
The part about He Got Game starts about the 16-minute mark. Notes on filming locations for He Got Game: Fitz, Woolley, Scott Cherry, LeVelle Moton and former UNC JV player Jeremy Holly spent one very long, hot August day along New Hope Road in Randolph County. Their filming locations are about 2 miles apart. Fitz was first out the limo, shooting on a driveway hoop with a barn behind it. He gets extended screen time as the opening player in the film. Moton is next in the movie, dribbling on a dusty, gravel parking lot of Elliott's store at the corner of New Hope Road and High Pine Church Road in Denton. The Coca-Cola sign is now gone, and much of that storefront is faded, but it's still standing. Woolley was also filmed at the store, but he didn't make it into the film. Not far from there is where Cherry and Holly were filmed. Cherry is shooting in front of a barn about a minute in, but he's also shown spinning a ball at the 35-second mark. Holly, now a financial advisor on the West Coast, was shot in front of a seed corn sign with a local distributor's name beneath it. Those signs, along with Cherry's barn hoop, are still in place today, but the elements have taken their toll. New to the show and want to get caught up? Here’s Episode 1.
