Recent questions, and comments.

Okay so some of you have asked some questions and this is my post to answer them Lacrosse was created by the American Indians and is played with 10 players on the field including a goalie for each team. It's played with sticks with a small net on the end where you catch, throw, and shoot the ball from. The season goes through spring and ends in late May or early June. They hold scrimmages for each team so they can give starters a warm up and the new players a taste of what college lacrosse is like. The each team only gets about 4 or 5 scrimmages before their season starts. Also their is going to be a meeting held at Tequesta trace park on Dec, 17 at 7.00 o'clock for anyone who is interested in playing for the schools team. I will be there..

Big day for Brandon Benn

Brandon Benn, a senior at Culver Military Academy, signed a National Letter of Intent Friday afternoon to play lacrosse at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. Benn, an attack for the Eagles, is listed by Inside Lacrosse magazine as the 38th best player in the country. During his career with CMA, Benn has been a member of two state championship teams, been named offensive Most Valuable Player of the state tournament both years, been named to the all-state team both years, and was named an All-American his junior year. The Orangeville, Ont. native scored 85 goals and had 22 assists during his junior season and 65 goals and 21 assists his sophomore year. Johns Hopkins is one of the top teams in the league and if you make the team you are pretty damn good, and Brandon makes the cut.

Duke presents the new season's captains

Duke University men's lacrosse head coach has announced the appointment of Ned Crotty, Sam Payton, Max Quinzani and Parker McKee as team captains for the 2010 season. The quartet of veterans will lead the Blue Devils in their quest for a fourth straight ACC Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance.

Crotty and Payton both served as captains in 2009, while Quinzani and McKee also earned their teammates recognition for their leadership skills. The captains are decided solely on a team vote.

"I'm delighted that the team overwhelmingly vote to return [Ned Crotty] and [Sam Payton] as captains this year," Danowski said. "It shows great confidence in their abilities to lead the team."

"For Max and Parker, I'm really happy for them," Danowski said. "These two guys came here not knowing what to expect or if what the program was going to be. They have been rewarded for their loyalty and vision of what could be for Duke lacrosse. These four guys will undoubtedly do great things for us on and off the field of competition this year."

Hopefully the Blue Devils can get to a championship and them and UNC can battle it out, of course UNC will win but there's nothing like a Duke vs. UNC game, in any sport..

Getting Billy ready for the season

Attackman Billy Bitter was one of the top stories of the 2009 season, breaking out with 71 total points and first-team All-American honors. His eight goals on nine shots performance against UMBC set the rest of Division I on notice heading into 2010 (as well as earned him two 2009 Laxie Awards, as voted on by the fans).

This fall, Coach Breschi and crew have been working with Bitter to help him deal with the expected defensive attention this season with out adding more to his offensive load.

“I don’t know so much about putting more pressure on Billy. He has enough on his shoulders,” says Breschi. “He’s a marked guy now, and teams will be focusing on him, trying to stop him. We want to get him better seeing the field individually, work on distributing and understanding slides and how quickly they will come to him, as well as dealing with shutoffs. We want to prepare him for that now.”

Also a priority for Coach Breschi, finding dodgers to help alleviate the defensive pressure facing Bitter. Senior Gavin Petracca sat out the fall, allowing Thomas Wood, freshman Marcus Holman and Onondaga transfer Ed Prevost opportunities to showcase their skill.

Movember

When senior Virginia defenseman Ken Clausen was on a family vacation in Fiji last year over Christmas break, he ran into two gentlemen from Australia. The trio struck up a conversation when they discovered a handlebar mustache tattooed along the outside of Clausen’s left forefinger, just between the forefinger and the middle digit. During their chance encounter, Clausen learned about a recent phenomenon, Movember, an annual event symbolized with the growing of mustaches. The run-in thus ignited Clausen’s charge for prostate cancer awareness and the commencement of the inaugural “Mustache Madness.” I personally had told all my friends to do this last month, but i really had no idea that this was a real tradition I heard girls making bets on who can not shave their legs for the longest so I thought why not do it with a mustache for guys, While going on inside lacrosse I read this and found out about movember so if you wanna help and try and grow a cool stache dont shave!

How to pinch a lacrosse Head

There is multiple ways of pinching a lacrosse head, Pinching means to make the throat of your lacrosse head closer together causing your stick to have better hold. I did it this way because my head was already strung.
1.unscrew head and get a hair dryer.
2.tie a string around the throat of the lacrosse stick to the desired pinch.
3.put hairdryer on high and hot.
4.blow dry the part you want pinched the most and just around it for about 5 minutes on each side then after blow dry on each side for about a minute.
5. after immediately put your head in the freezer, leave it there for about 10 minutes when you take it out for best results do not untie the string for about 24 hours.

There is another way but will only work if your head is unstrung, do everything stated above except instead using a hairdryer boil the head for about 10 minutes on medium high heat completely submerged in the water.
