Awards, college job for Springside
laxers
by TOM UTESCHER
It's been a good month for current and former lacrosse
players from Springside School.
At the local school's graduation gathering on June 9,

following Monday, June 14, Lehigh University announced that it has hired

All but one of the Magic's returning starters were on hand, and although
