Kinston’s own Dory Hines returns for a hoops homecoming

When Myers Park hits the court at Kinston High for the Brandon Ingram Invitational, it’s more than just a big game—it’s a full-circle moment for coach Dory Hines. Once a championship point guard for Kinston, Hines now leads one of Charlotte’s top teams back to his old stomping grounds. The family ties run deep: his mom coaches Kinston’s girls team, and his staff includes another Kinston alum. For Hines, the pressure to win is part of the privilege, and this return is packed with pride, memories, and a chance to show his players what Kinston basketball is all about. Who else is feeling the hometown energy? #Education #K12 #Kinston
