More on Josh Hawkins

Today's paper featured a story on Josh Hawkins' signing to play at D-1 Loyola for lacrosse next year. The Greyhounds sent a press release out today regarding their signees for the season.

It includes the following quote from coach Charley Toomey about Hawkins:

"Josh is as athletic as any player that has ever donned a Loyola
jersey. He fits perfectly into our style of playing two way midfielders
who can push the ball up the field from defense to offense."
