Antoinette Bannister's road to North Carolina

Remember this young lady?? This is the young lady that was attempting and dropping off 3s from half court in the Tennessee Turkey Jamm this past November at Central High school. It wasn't exactly half court but it was close to it..

Potter's House Christian Academy sophomore Antoinette Bannister recently committed to play collegiate basketball for North Carolina. Committing early isn't new for our community since our very own Lauren Avant committed to Tennessee as a 14 year old. I guess it's becoming the norm now.

Check out Antoinette's story:

For Potter's House Christian Academy sophomore Antoinette Bannister, her road to committing early is more the exception than the rule. She committed to North Carolina last weekend, but the decision is several years in the making due to some extraordinary circumstances. And she made the pledge because the Tar Heels extended a scholarship offer for which she'd waited years.


Bannister has played varsity basketball, with her father, Tony, as the head coach at Potter's House, since the sixth grade. For the most part, that is where her recruiting journey began. She attended the North Carolina's elite camp as a sixth-grader but played up and held her own with the high-school-aged kids.
