Mesmer is a three-year starter going in this season after breaking the school’s single season scoring record with 74 Goals and 21 Assists last year. Josh’s accomplishments are not limited to the lacrosse team as Josh was a three-year starter for Lexington Catholic’s football team and three-time all-city linebacker.

 

“Josh is a work horse athlete that is going to have great success playing for Coach Justice at Transylvania University,” said Commonwealth Kings Black Coach Logan Otto, “Josh brings great skill and is going to be a very tough matchup for any defender at the next level. Coach Justice is getting a phenomenal lacrosse player but an even better person who puts in the effort on the field and in the classroom. We are very glad he found a school that is the right fit for him.”

Are you saying the Rebels got their speed from you? #fatjason!

He will rejoin his former coach at Lexington Catholic, Terry Justice and former teammate Andrew Myers. Also, already on the Transylvania team and was second in scoring his freshman year is Clay Douthat. Mesmer and Douthat started playing roller hockey, ice hockey on the same teams when were only 8 years old and add played travel lacrosse together a couple of years ago. It will be good to see these two on the same field again.
