This year, the eagles are 15 and 2 and 5 and 1 in the district. Leading the
way are the guard/forward tandem of Marquis Cunningham and Charles Stephens.
Cunningham, a Maryland and Duke recruit, is averaging around 16 points a game
while Stephens leads the team in scoring at over 20 a contest.
The eagles held powerful E.C. Glass to 49 points last night and to add
another state championship trophy to the display case more defensive efforts
like that one will be needed.
((MARQUIS CUNNINGHAM:))
1st year coach Chris Carter has hardly been defensive about replacing a
legend in Harry Johnson.
Carter's 8 man rotation one game at a time philosophy are 2 other keys to a
2nd straight title.))
