[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a casual observer of many games during the NHSLS tournament, I was impressed with the Texas schools. I was born and raised in Texas and I had never had seen a lacrosse game in all my time there.  Football, basketball and baseball were the only sports we considered legit.

The Texas teams have raw athletes that are just starting to play lacrosse.  The coaches/kids on the teams from ESD and Highland Park are just starting to build programs.  They don't really play as a team, rather, the coaches just let them go on athletic ability alone

It will be interesting to see how Texas kids compete with the NE and Mid-Atlantic states in the next 5 years.[/quote]

They do have some talent.  Very good goalie play.  [/quote]

Not surprised.  TX kids have been flying up here a lot for clinics and lessons and things for years.  Like up and back in one day sometimes.  [/quote]

I talked to some of the parents from Texas today at the tournament.  They feel like lacrosse has given their athletically gifted boys another chance to be "competitive" again.  One dad told me his son quit playing football after his sophomore year because he was "only" 6 foot tall and couldn't run a forty in under a 3.6 flat.  Another guy said his kid was great at baseball, he was a pitcher and switch hitter.  His kid quit baseball to pursue lacrosse.  The gentleman and his wife also said there are many more kids getting into lacrosse from Texas and those parents are spending heavily on summer camps in the Mid-Atlantic.

LOL if any NFL prospect in the combine ran a 3.6 flat in the 40 it would shatter any NFL record ever by an ocean of a margin.  FYI Saint Johns College HS in DC is competive with any HS TX program.  [/quote]

SJC would crush any Texas team in a game that counts (yes, I know they lost to a Texas team at NHSLS yesterday).

Even STA won 3 of 4 in Texas last year.

Texas is up and coming but they have a long way to go to reach top tier status. [/quote]
