When Kyle Marr was a youngster, he proudly wore his Johns Hopkins lacrosse jersey and shaved his head in a Mohawk -- dying it blue and black -- to support the Blue Jays in the 2005 and 2007 NCAA final four and national championship games.
That type of spirited dedication was not surprising, since the Marr family's roots run deep in the Johns Hopkins lacrosse program.
His father, Scott Marr, was a teammate of Blue Jays head coach Dave Pietramala and helped the program win the 1987 NCAA Division I national championship. Kyle Marr's uncle, Dave Marr, played at Johns Hopkins from 1993-96 and is the Blue Jays' career leader in assists with 134.
