Hoyas reunite for 9th time
By Voleer Thomas
A group of Eastside High School graduates who played sports together and have remained close friends throughout the years celebrated with the community to honor and remember a popular sports figure.
The Hawthorne Road Hoyas Reunion was held for the ninth time this year as family and friends gathered to celebrate their bond at the Cynthia Moore Chestnut Park located at 2315 SE 35th St. on Saturday.
The group was founded in 2010 by Eastside graduates Harold “Gator” Hoskins, Leon
Houston, Jerrod “Juicy” Owens, Montrell Ross and Clyde Byrd.
The festivities were canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
