Seniors from across the state - and even a couple from other states - gathered at Harnett Central High School on Saturday morning for a unique event.
The Big Show Combine RDU Senior Showcase presented by HighSchoolOT.com was a chance for senior football players to showcase their talent for college coaches in hopes of gaining a college scholarship for the fall.
