Jake Wade intercepted four passes and returned one of them 94 yards for the decisive touchdown in a 20-14 win over N.C. State that took place 50 years ago at Charlotte's Memorial Stadium. If the Wildcats held a play-of-the-century contest, Wade's interception return would be at the top of that list. Wade also played a feisty second base for the Wildcat baseball team. Baseball has remained one of his passions and he has coached in Charlotte's Myers Park Trinity Little League for the past 42 years. One of the league's fields is named in his honor.
