Lederrick G. Hunter, head coach for the Cherry Point

Lederrick G. Hunter, head coach for the Cherry Point Eagles, gets his team motivated and pumped up before the opening kickoff of the “battle of the air stations” football game between the Cherry Point Eagles and the New River Blue Knights at the Cherry Point Varsity Football Field, Oct. 11. Cherry Point edged out New River with a final score of 14-11. “We started slipping a bit toward the end but our defense really showed its resilience,” said Hunter. “We are going to go back to the drawing board and figure out ways to correct what needs to be corrected.”
