Devin Cherry, from Charlotte is a sophomore on the Rams golf team.  The former student of Independence High School is a dominate left-handed player in his second year on the team.

Rams head coach Robert Bethea has  selected him as the recipient of the Coach’s Game Ball.  

It was Cherry’s record-setting performance against 17 other universities in the HBCU Golf Invitational Nov. 1 that earned him this recognition. 

Cherry set a school record shooting a low of 68 and helped the Rams secure a fourth-place finish in the tournament.  

“Devin makes the rest of the team better,” Bethea said.

“They try to play like him. He is a caliber player, and he puts a lot into the game.

Devin is a good ball striker.  

He’s a good student and knows a lot about the game.”
