Fall, a great time to be a college mascot like...
Mike the Tiger of Louisiana State, HokieBird of Virginia Tech, the Trojan of Virginia State, Smokey of the University of Tennessee, and of course, Johnny Paws of Southside Virginia Community College. Paws was born on January 1, 2013, and named by a student who won a contest and in honor of then SVCC President John Cavan. Since then, many have ‘played’ Johnny so here is the story of just one former SVCC mascot,
Jared Hurak.
