[quote=Anonymous]Lax is not a real sport. It was adopted by families of the rising Northeast upper-middle class because their kids were typically not athletic enough to play traditional sports (football, basketball, soccer, baseball, hockey, etc.) and not wealthy enough for the sports of the upper-class (crew and equestrian). I grew up with kids who played lacrosse and although some of them also played football and basketball, they were not standouts like they were in lacrosse. Similarly, the kids who were standouts in their main sport, were usually standouts in other sports as well. But good for those players who are able to leverage the sport into a scholarship at a top school. But don't be fooled into believing these folks are exceptional athletes. You have a limited number of lacrosse players, which gives them a better chance of receiving a college scholarship. It is nothing like basketball, football, soccer or baseball where you one HS conference will be lucky to have one or two D-I players. Landon and GP probably send at least ten kids a year to play D-I. In comparison, Dematha has one of the premier HS basketball programs in the worlds and might send two players a year to play D-I.  [/quote]
