Jamie Cherry Following Her Idol

Posted Aug 10, 2012
As a young basketball player growing up in eastern North Carolina, Jamie Cherry admired former Tar Heel point guard Ivory Latta. In a couple years, Cherry will have the chance to follow in her idol’s footsteps. The Vanceboro (N.C) West Craven product is only a rising junior. However, when North Carolina head coach Sylvia Hatchell offered Cherry a scholarship in March of last year, she could not pass up the opportunity. (Inside Carolina)
