Former West Forsyth star relishes playing on UNC’s JV team

Posted Jan 23, 2015
Toiling away on the North Carolina junior-varsity basketball team isn’t for everybody. Toby Egbuna, a junior from Clemmons, says he does it for a lot of reasons — but the main one is the love of the game. “I’ve been playing basketball since I was 8 years old and I’ll be playing after I graduate because it’s a great game,” Egbuna said before Sunday’s game against the Guilford College JV team (Winston-Salem Journal)
