Lacrosse

By James Coats

Have you heard of the sport Lacrosse? Chances are, you have not. Lacrosse is a physical sport that includes skill, heart, and mental toughness. I like to think of lacrosse a mix of soccer and football. The positions are just like soccer and the physicality is like football.

The way I found out about Lacrosse was when I was in 3rd grade. My cousins played it I thought it was a cool sport, it looked fun and I was not allowed to play football yet so this was a good way to get away with being physical. This sport contains a lacrosse stick that has a long metal shaft and a head that has a net in it to catch the ball, it also consists of a helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads and gloves, these pads will provide maximum protection so you will not get hurt.

The best way to get into lacrosse is join a local team, this can be indoor or outdoor, it is a good way to make new friends and get active.

This was a very tough game for the Beavers, as last year, Central Catholic went far in the playoffs, where Beaverton did not. There was big hype around this game with the Beaverton Beavers as a seed 28 and Central Catholic seed 5, everyone wanted an upset. A depressing outcome happened for the Beaverton Beavers as they got beat first round of the playoffs 67-44. This is a season ending blow.
