Posted Jun 21, 2011
Greensboro's Theo Pinson will compete with the U.S. U16 national basketball team tonight against Brazil in a tournament in Cancun, Mexico. Pinson, who is 6 feet 6 and weighs 175 pounds, played at Oak Ridge Military Academy during his freshman season. "We have a whole lot of work to do," Pinson said in an interview last week. "It's an honor, just wearing USA on my chest and knowing that I'm playing for the country is big, and representing my family, North Carolina and Greensboro."
