NACOGDOCHES, TX (KTRE) - Josh Alexander taking his hoop game to the pro ranks.
More Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks going to play pro ball. Josh Alexander is taking his 6 foot 4 frame to dribble drive in Poland.

Alexander scored 1,074 points while at SFA, he is the School's all-time leading scorer and he pulled down 684 rebounds to boot. He helped lead the school to the first ever trip to NCAA tourney in March he also played in 2008 in the NIT Tourney. Alexander was a four time all Southland Conference honoree including 2006 Southland Conference Freshman player of the year and player of the year in 2008.
Alexander will play this season with Polonia Warsaw, a club based in Warsaw, Poland.
"Until you get that call from your agent, that's when it finally hits you," Alexander said last month. "This took a while. Our season's been over since March, and this whole process has been going on since then. You're wondering, `Am I going to get a job?' You know you're capable, but anything can happen until you get that call."
