If Lucky Radley is lucky, he’ll get some sleep tonight. Perhaps somewhere over the Rocky Mountains.

The Taft running back-linebacker said he is scheduled to take a red-eye flight to North Carolina after the Toreadors play host to West Valley League rival Birmingham and then have his first official visit with the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill.

Radley averaged 9.6 yards per carry in his first four games with Taft after gaining eligibility as a transfer last month.

I hope Radley makes time to go to Time Out Chicken and Biscuits on Franklin Street, a late-night haunt that captures the essence of campus life at North Carolina.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
