Jessica Breland went on to become UNC star

Posted Feb 27, 2009
Having played high school ball in rural Bertie County, you might think Jessica Breland, a junior at UNC, would be pining for her days back in the country. Not so. Breland, who is having the best season of her career as a Tar Heel, is a city girl at heart and has aspirations to play professionally in a bigger market. Breland, who has been playing center and forward for the UNC women's basketball team, has been dominant at times this season. (Virginian-Pilot)
