Hawk is such agreat example of overcoming obstacles in one’s life that the administration hashad him speak to numerous student-advisory classes where he shares his storywith his peers.  Last fall the footballteam wanted to give back to Hawk for everything he has meant to MHS, so they setup a touchdown play for Hawk to run during their big rivalry game againstJerome.  Hawk said it was the best day ofhis life!
