I played lacrosse in highschool, was on KY's all state team (not saying much as we didnt have that many teams in the state).
I loved the sport, I was the face off specialist, FUN!
I played football too but lacrosse with the less padding enabled me to move better and hit harder. Nothing like blind siding a defender at full speed as he trying to catch a clear. I actually sucked pretty bad but my face off abilities and defensive skills allowed me to get plenty of playing time.
