Volleyball player Meg Kinney wants to be a Tar Heel

Posted Oct 21, 2008
E.C. Glass junior Meg Kenny loves living in Virginia, but she dreams of playing volleyball for North Carolina. “My heart’s always going to be with North Carolina,” said Kenny, a middle hitter who leads the Hilltoppers in kills, blocks and aces. “I’ve got blue blood in my veins, whether it’s Glass blue or Carolina blue.” Her father, Eric Kenny, was a captain on the Tar Heels’ 1981 NCAA basketball finalist team that also featured James Worthy and Sam Perkins.
