Lacrosse

Over the past two years, I have grown to like the sport of lacrosse. The Mount just began their inaugural season of women's lacrosse a few months ago. Before recently, the game always looked beyond confusing and whistles were always being blown to penalize the teams. I didn't have a clue what a crease was or how to catch a ball with a tiny little stick. I have some hand/eye coordination, but it was going to take some practice to find success. Lacrosse didn't form a team until my junior year of high school, and by that time I figured it was too late to learn how to play. Of course, I'm regretting that decision these days. I have been the site manager for Seton's lacrosse team for the previous two years, where I set up the gate, pay the referees, control the crowds, and protect peoples lives, as their home field is at West High. This year, Mary Ritter, the AD, was searching around for coaches to help out. This would have been a great opportunity for me to coach at the high school level like I want to and get me the experience I need in the long run.
Thursday night, the season is coming to an end as we celebrate all the time and committment the seniors have dedicated to the program. If you'd want to experience a fast paced, well played, high intensity game of lacrosse, join us at West High on Thursday night at 5:00 for Senior Night.
