[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting article in the CC Gazette about public schools trying to build up their LAX programs.  The Prep coach is quoted as saying that in NY (where he grew up) lax is the sport of tough public school kids.

The days of high school football may be coming to and end due to concussion concerns.  [/quote]

Um .... Lots of concussions in lax too. [/quote]

You sure about that?

Had three sons that played in middle school and high school. Two played in college.

I have been watching college lacrosse for decades.

I have never seen nor have I heard of a concussion.

Most frequent problems are associated with knees and ankles.

A few tragedies where players are hit in the chest with balls and were killed.

If you really don't know, than why post and pretend you do? Lacrosse is about as dangerous as soccer or basketball.[/quote]

Um nope - lax is ranked 3rd behind football and hockey. Biggest problem is penalties are not called on certain head to head hits. There was a study last year by Medstar Sports Medicine Research Center in Baltimore where something like only 9 out of every 34 concussion hits were called for penalty. It's kind of a big deal. This year alone there have been 3 concussions at my son's all boys private catholic school due to head to head hits in lax games.
