Greg Hunt shot a 68 (-2) to finish one of the most domineering performances in recent memory at the Eastern Regional championships Tuesday at Kempsville Golf Course in Virginia Beach. The Nansemond River junior, who shot a 67 (-4) at Portsmouth’s Bide-A-Wee on Monday, won the regional championship by seven strokes over Nick Combs of Menchville High School.

Hunt, who won the Southeast-ern district title on Oct. 1, now heads to state competition, which begins Oct. 15 in Bluemont.

River’s Jonathan Faw qualified for state competition for the second consecutive year, finishing the regional at 149 to take seventh place.

&uot;The way Greg is playing right now, and the fire he has in his eyes to win, he has got an excellent chance to win the state individual title,&uot; said coach Don Horne. &uot;But you can never count Jonathan out either, with the way he’s been playing. Those two, I knew it was coming, I just didn’t know when.&uot;
