Ivory Latta, Camille Little and Mary Hall McArver will make up Carolina’s freshman class for the 2003-04 season. “We’re very excited to have signed the three players at the top of our list,” UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said upon the players’ signing on Nov. 13. “They’re all outstanding young ladies and so well-rounded – great students, great basketball players, great people. All three are tremendous leaders on their high school teams and are among the top echelon of players in the country.” Latta, a 5-6 point guard from McConnells, S.C., earned South Carolina Miss Basketball honors last season as a junior at York (S.C.) Comprehensive High. In 2001-02, she scored 40 or more points nine times and 30 or more 23 times – both state records – and led York to a state championship, averaging 36.3 points per game. Little, a 6-1 forward/guard from Winston-Salem, N.C., led Carver High to a state championship as a freshman and has earned all-state honors the last two years. She is a three-time conference player of the year and a two-time MVP of the Mary Garber Holiday Tournament, as well as a member of the National Honor Society. Her father, Robert Little, played at North Carolina Central and for the Harlem Globetrotters. McArver, a 5-9 guard from Gastonia, N.C., was conference player of the year as a freshman and a junior and a finalist for 2002 North Carolina Miss Basketball honors at Forestview High School. She has been named Forestview’s team MVP and best offensive player the last three years and is a Street & Smith’s All-America honorable mention. She is a nominee for UNC’s prestigious Morehead Scholarship. The three incoming Tar Heels already have experience playing together as members of Team North Carolina, which won the AAU Junior Olympic Games in 2001 and ’02. Latta and Little were among 48 players selected to participate in the 2002 USA Basketball Women’s Youth Development Festival in June, when Latta tied for the top scoring average with 13.4 points per game.

ACC preseason picks Senior guard Coretta Brown was named to the preseason all-conference team and Tar Heel freshman La'Tangela Atkinson was voted the presea- son Rookie of the Year at the Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Basketball Media Day, held on Oct. 27 in Greensboro, N.C. Brown's spot on the preseason team is her second in a row. She also was named to the squad last year and went on to earn All-ACC and All-ACC Tournament honors for 2001-02. She was joined on this year's preseason team by Duke's Alana Beard and Iciss Tillis, Clemson's Chrissy Floyd and Virginia's Brandi Teamer. Atkinson's selection marked the second consecutive year that a Tar Heel has been the top vote-getter in that category. Sophomore guard Leah Metcalf was the 2001-02 preseason ACC Rookie of the Year and went on to earn a spot on the ACC All-Freshmen team. • For the second year in a row, UNC was picked to finish second in the league. The prediction turned out to be correct in 2001-02, when the Tar Heels did finish second, both in the regular season and in the tournament. Duke was predicted to win the league crown in 2002-03, drawing all 48 first-place votes.
