Feeling a ‘void’ in his life, lacrosse recruit Johnny Hodges switched gears, joined Navy football team

Johnny Hodges played a prominent role in helping the Quince Orchard football program capture the Class 4A state championship in 2018. Hodges recovered an onside kick with 14 seconds remaining to clinch a 40-33 victory over North Point in the championship game, which was held at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

It was a memorable moment that was particularly special for Hodges, who knew he would be playing future games at the historic stadium in Annapolis with a stick in his hands as a Naval Academy lacrosse player.

Hodges was part of the defensive midfield rotation as a plebe and played a decent amount against Furman, being credited with a caused turnover.
