The Prince of Pittsboro: UNC commit Drake Powell's final season at Northwood High School

Drake Powell is one of the top high school basketball players in the country. Next year the Pittsboro native will play for his dream school UNC, but this season he had unfinished business at Northwood High School. WRAL's Pat Welter followed Drake and the Northwood Chargers on their quest for a state title this season. The Prince of Pittsboro is a documentary that takes you behind the scenes of their most emotional moments and shows a side of Drake and his head coach Matt Brown that you've never seen.
Directed by Pat Welter
