The Atlanta Hawks come into the Christmas holidays with nearly 20 wins already.  This is quite a surprise as the Hawks have struggled the past few years.  Beating quality teams like the Miami Heat, Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers have put the Hawks team in second place in the Southeastern division and in third place in the entire Eastern conference, thus putting them in a comfortable playoff spot.

At McIntosh students have shown their support with Hawks paraphernalia, which is becoming more and more visible among the student body.
