Roanoke High School (Robersonville, NC) athlete Trimaine Goddard announced his decision today during a morning press conference. The 5-10, 175 pound prospect has verbally committed to North Carolina over Virginia.

“I have committed to North Carolina,” Goddard said. “Monday night, I was just sitting there thinking about it and it just came to me. It was really tough choosing UNC over UVA, but it was just a gut feeling. It’s just so hard telling the other schools that have recruited you that you aren’t going to go to their school.”
