KERNERSVILLE, N.C. — Adelaide Jernigan is tipping off another run at a 1A state championship. The senior basketball star is the first girl at Bishop McGuinness High School to score 2,000 career points.
The N.C. State University commit has won two 1A state championships in her career at the school. She's trying to end her historic run with the Villains basketball program by adding one more trophy to the case in Kernersville.
Jernigan is also a champion off the court, as a member of the National Honor Society and a youth minister at her church.
She has also been successful in other sports at the school. In the fall, she helped the school win a state championship in tennis.
The Bishop McGuinness girls basketball program has won 11 state championships under head coach Brian Robinson. Jernigan has helped the team go undefeated in the 1A Northwest Piedmont conference in her four years at the school.
