This past off season has been a trying one for Hampton junior Jerry Lunsford. However, he is ready to make up for lost time.

Lunsford has overcome an ACL injury in the early part of last season, and has battled back to become a crucial part of the Bulldogs’ offense and defense.

Lunsford injured his knee in the first game of the season against Unicoi County, and then tore his ACL that required surgery to repair the injury against Happy Valley. Since then, the rising junior has been determined to get back before the season.
