High school football star makes court appearance

WILMINGTON — One of the stars of the Hoggard High School football team made an appearance somewhere other than the football field this morning.

Eighteen-year-old Hoggard senior Rashad Williams was in court on drug charges.

Deputies arrested Williams earlier this month near the high school’s campus during an undercover sting at a Carolina Beach Road convenience store September 13.

Deputies say Williams was in the store when authorities raided it; they found drugs on him.

His case has been continued.
