UNC's paper notes star player's choice to serve LDS mission

The Daily Tar Heel - By all accounts, Stilman White is living the dream. In just one year, the North Carolina point guard has gone from being the Tar Heels’ last resort to being their answer. But despite the progress he’s made on the basketball court, White is more than willing to leave that dream-come-true behind. At least for a little while. He’s got another dream to pursue.
