Georgia natives to compete in NCAA National Championship

North Carolina senior guard Kanler Coker from Gainesville, Ga. and freshman guard Brandon Robinson from Douglasville, Ga. are the two Georgia natives who will be on the floor in Monday’s NCAA National Championship in Glendale, Ariz.

Coker, a graduate of North Hall High School, was a former quarterback on the UNC football team, but after an arm injury, became a walk-on on the Tar Heels basketball team under coach Roy Williams.

Robinson, a 6-foot-5, 162 pound graduate from Douglas County High School, has played a total of 281 minutes in his freshman season and scored 69 points.

The Tar Heels will face off against No. 1 Gonzaga at 9:20 p.m. from University of Phoenix Stadium.
