Lacrosse is a space game, in terms of spreading the offense and running the fast break. You can't really get that in the gym. We got double the grass time that we've had up to this point.
I thought our defense played very, very well.
We just couldn't carry over the quality play we had from the weekend games.
We had two practices on grass this year. The rest of the time was in the gym. On an artificial surface field, we would be out there all year.
There has been a lot of talk during the last three years, but it was just this year that we have people making a real push and getting down to the nuts and bolts of it.
We're road warriors, it's just what you've got to do. We've got a positive group. No matter the situation, we've always hustled.
The sport is a magnet. It will attract kids.
Against Dawson, we started out very slow and got ourselves in a hole early. They were a good team, but I think we made them look better than they were. We just didn't get off to a good start.
The kids played real well. It was a good game for us to have at that point.
They come with the lines on it. You order it for the sports you want.
In terms of knowing the game and stick skills, we're head and shoulders above where we've been.
There was a real turning point for us where we finally learned how to handle the ball under pressure.
There'll be more competition for spots. For a coach, competition is great.
The loss of class time this year, for kids and myself, has been tough. It would make a difference.
