   Carolina chosen as 8th and final team
---------------------------------------------
by USCL Commissioner - Greg Shahade
---------------------------------------------
 
   Carolina was chosen as the 8th USCL team this evening after review of all the applying cities. They will bring more youth to the league, as they will be led by US Junior Champion Lev Milman (2474 USCF) and Matthew Hoekstra (2407 USCF), another young star player. Also the well known ICC personality, IM Jonathan Schroer (2462 USCF), will be part of the team. He's given lessons and simuls on the ICC for many years and has built up quite a reputation doing so, it should be exciting to see him represent Carolina against other strong players around the country.
   Carolina will be based out of Raleigh, North Carolina. Two of their team members are currently students at Duke (Milman and Hoekstra). The team was organized by manager/player NM Craig Jones (2270). More details will come in the next few days regarding Carolina's team, as their nickname and logo have yet to be determined.
