Nicaragua mission trip helped McAdoo make UNC decision
Posted Jun 23, 2010
Highly-rated forward James McAdoo, who had considered graduating from high school early and playing for UNC next season, won't head to Chapel Hill until 2011, after all. The choice to return to Norfolk (Va.) Christian for his senior season wasn’t made on the basketball court, however – but while repairing rooftops in a dump in Managua. “His decision came on the heels of 12-day mission trip to Nicaragua,’’ his mother, Janet McAdoo, said during a phone interview Tuesday.
