Blanca Thomas brings scoring, height to UNC Women's Basketball frontcourt

Posted Oct 30, 2024
As a 6-foot-3 middle schooler, Blanca Thomas always stood out. Forced to squat in pictures for most of her life, Thomas struggled with confidence. Then, she found basketball. What used to make her feel insecure eventually led to UNC. Now, the Tar Heel freshman center stands closer to 6-foot-6. She still stands out, but it's an asset she's embraced. (Daily Tar Heel)
