Denver University Joins The Big East (Lacrosse Only)

Just an FYI...MUHS Varsity LAX won tonight and will be playing for the state championship on Saturday in Whitewater. For those of you who haven't seen the game played, it does have many similarities to B-ball as far as fast breaks and half court/field set offenses. Very fun to watch, but due to the spring weather in Wisconsin, I believe an indoor facility is a must for it's success. It is exploding in Wisconsin, and MU going D-1 will only add fuel to the fire. (Not gonna replace football in my lifetime though)

I coached youth lax for 10 years in CT and I found that if the kids did not start as a youngster (third, fourth or fifth grade) they were intimidated by the "experienced" kids.

That matches my town in MA, where the high school has both boys' and girls' lax teams and there is now a youth team to get people started. Field hockey is another sport that is starting to gain traction, albeit to a lesser degree than lax.
