Burney's sacrifice a hit with Heels

Posted Aug 5, 2008

North Carolina cornerback Kendric Burney had a hard time watching the College World Series this summer. Not just because the Tar Heels lost there for the third straight season, but because the former outfielder was in Chapel Hill rather than Omaha, Neb., trying to help a different UNC team win a title. "Giving up baseball had to be probably the hardest decision I've ever made in my life," the sophomore from Jacksonville said. (Raleigh News & Observer)
