Coach Justin Garrison's first South Meck lacrosse team has produced a school-record three collegiate signees, as Sabre seniors Josh Campbell, Shea Fadel and Jarrett Cook will continue their lacrosse careers as NCAA players next fall.

Campbell, a first-team all-conference middie who scored 34 goals this season and was the Sabres' Offensive Player of the Year, signed with Division III power Stevenson University in Maryland, where he will help the Mustangs improve on their semifinal finish in this year's NCAA playoffs.

Three-year starter and third-team all-league longpole middie Shea Fadel, the team's Defensive MVP in 2010, will follow in the footsteps of the South coaching staff and play near home in Salisbury for Division II Catawba.

Another three-year starter, middie Jarrett Cook, accepted a late offer from another local Division II school, Wingate, where he will play for Bulldogs coach Sonny Zeigler. Cook led the Sabres in groundballs in each of his last two seasons.

Interestingly, Fadel and Cook will now be be playing against each other annually as rivals in the Deep South Lacrosse Conference, where Wingate and Catawba are longtime members. The date for the 2011 game between the Bulldogs and Indians hasn't been announced yet, but check back on southmecklacrosse.com for details of the first Fadel/Cook showdown.
