Lax Commences Inaugural Season By Brandon Tajkarimi

The birds are chirping and the lax bros are coming out of hibronation. It is spring season at Priory, and what else to get excited about than lacrosse, the game of speed, power, and – most importantly – stick skills. The team has been working the wall and working hard at practices. The coaching staff is completely stacked, with the likes of Coach Combs, Coach Finan, Dr. Paletta and Dr. Ricci leading the team. The team as a whole is young, with many new beginners and some experienced players. As a JV team with only 2 sophomores, the freshman will lead the team and lead the program off to a good start. There are 3 captains, Cory Dubray, John Agnew and George Paletta. The schedule is tough, featuring established lacrosse powerhouses like CBC, MICDS,

DeSmet, and SLUH. Priory is working hard and is looking one day to make its name as a St. Louis lacrosse powerhouse. The season kicks off against Lindbergh on March 20th. The new spring sport brings questions to the student body. How good is the team go-

ing to be? What’s lacrosse? What is fluff? A spoon? A wand?? To answer your questions: the team looks great through its first practices, and is a hard working team that is just going to get better. Lacrosse apparently originated as a Native American sport, and thus has a lot of history. In its early history the teams were massive, reaching from 100-1,000 members on a team from different villages. It has become Canada’s national sport since. “Fluff ” is a term used for the stringing of a lacrosse head including the mesh, sidewall, and shooting strings. “Spoon” and “wand” are other nicknames one uses to refer to a lacrosse stick. I hope now that the school is informed on this new sport, they will give it a chance and show up to a few games. Shout-out to Mrs. Hall, I know she will be there!
