Ok. Maybe it wasn't called Stick Beatin' but La Cross should be called that.
Daddy and I headed on over to Logan to watch Lyle's last game of La Cross.
We have grounded him because he didn't invite us to any of his other games.
Anyway......Neither Doran or I have seen a La Cross game played. We had NO idea of the rules.
It was a fun game to watch.
Ready, set.....GO #9!!!
I can't believe the CONTACT these guys make. This is Lyle after he stole the ball and is running. You see that white guy with the stick raised? Well, ya, he is chasing Lyle and smacking him with the stick trying to knock the ball loose.
I learned that those helmets and arm pads are ESSENTIAL!!
It was pretty fun to watch when the ball was loose and there was like a dog pile on the ball but with the sticks. Man you had to move fast. AND it is legal (I think) to plow a man over as long as it isn't from the back.
Notice how well protected he is from his head, shoulders, knees and toes....knees and toes....knees and toes.....wait wrong song. Helmet, shoulder pads, arm pads and huge gloves. You DEFINITELY need all this protection. However he did manage to get a chunk out of his shoulder. I can't imagine how? More bubble wrap next time LYLE!!!
Not a sport I would want to play but it was fun to watch!
Then we got to go to the new Pig Out Place in Logan. (Chuck-A-Rama)
I was so sick the rest of the night.
The End
