The UNC Women’s Basketball team will face the South Carolina
Gamecocks during the annual holiday trip to Myrtle Beach. South
Carolina is a member of the SEC conference, does not currently hold
a national ranking, and has already played some tough teams this
year. Matching up with the ACC, USC lost at Clemson in OT 94-92
early in the season, held onto a 74-71 win over NCSU in South
Carolina this past weekend, and hosts Wake Forest on Thursday before
facing the Tar Heels in Mrytle Beach on Sunday.
The Mrytle Beach location is technically a neutral site, however,
the Tar Heels have played there often enough to give it a home feel.
On the other hand, USC is bringing a 50-seater “Fan Bus” to the game
so cheer loud if you can attend!
Unable to attend?
You can tune into the game on 1360 AM WCHL and affiliated stations.

UNC tops Gardner-Webb
Cetera DeGraffenreid and Italee Lucas continue to lead the Tar Heels
in Sunday's 81-65 win over Gardner-Webb at the Smith Center. The
freshman struggled with fouls but continue to show effort as Coach
Hatchell continues to give them all some extra playing time before
ACC play. Italee and Cetera each had an amazing assist credited as
Gardner-Webb attempted to trap them with the ball. Cetera zigzaged
out of three defenders to run down the court and dish out one of her
three assists and Italee gave a signature no look pass around two
defenders near the basket for one of her 5 assists.

Treasurer’s Blog:
From Chip Hutchins
Many, many thanks to all
the Tarheel faithful who attended the Holiday Party and left
presents for our Carolina Blue Santa's sleigh this past
Sunday. Santa's sleigh delivered on 12-15-09 the many toys
and presents to both the Durham Rescue Mission and to the Pastor of
Cane Creek Baptist Church, Hillsborough, NC. I know Mr. and Mrs.
Santa (Ronald and Jean Copeland) are smiling and are most
pleased. Ms. Leola Cole and Ms. Rhonda Surles of the Mission (and
Tarheel fans) and Pastor Jack Edge were so appreciative and thankful
with everyone's generosity. They all said this year was so very,
very lean for many families and to please share their thanks to each
of you for caring! The gifts will be welcomed with smiles by a
number of children and families this coming Christmas morning.
So again, thanks to all
of you! It is GREAT to be a Tar Heel and even better to be
associated with Tar Heels like all of you! |
