“I am really excited to coach Jimmy for the next four years, said Hendrix Head Coach Anthony Biondo. "The work ethic he has shown, I will never forget.” Jimmy gives credit to the coaches he has had the pleasure of playing for -- Pinecrest Coach Pat Aiello, Club Coach Billy O’Haire (UGA Men’s Lacrosse Head Coach), Coach Trevor Ward and Coach Sam Lialios -- for developing his love for the game and teaching him not only skills, but life lessons, which will help him succeed at the next level.
Hendrix College is listed Top 10 among institutions “that are making the most innovative improvements in curriculum, faculty, students, campus life, technology, or facilities, according to US News and World Report in 2016.” The Hendrix Warriors play NCAA Division III in the Southern Athletic Association Conference.
