Wake Forest-Rolesville, Opening day of practice
Aug 16, 2008
Each week HighSchoolOT.com will feature one athlete from the Triangle as the Athlete of the Week. This week we feature Wake Forest-Rolesville's three-sport athlete, Terrell Hartsfield.
Name: Terrell Hartsfield
School: Wake Forest-Rolesville
Sport(s): Football, Basketball, Track & Field
Position(s): Linebacker, Wide Receiver
Class: Junior, 2010
Terrell Hartsfield was one of the top players on the Wake Forest-Rolesville defense in 2007, one that allowed barely a touchdown a game. The Cougars were undefeated in the regular season, earning one of the top seeds for the N.C. High School Athletic Association 4-AA State Playoffs. Two weeks after going on the road and defeating the Leesville RoadPride in the regular season finale, and winning the conference title as a result, the Cougars faced Leesville Road again. This time the Pride left the victors but Hartsfield will have plenty more chances to rack up some wins.
