The Final JuCo Report: OCC Interview, Hall of Fame, All Americans
Welcome to the final JuCo Report of 2013. We’ve got an interview with OCC’s Chuck Wilbur, 2013 NJCAA Lacrosse Hall of Fame inductees, and 2013 JuCo Lax All-Americans!
Traditional Thursday: Lance Gibson’s Connor Pocket
Lance Gibson strung up a super clean 6-diamond traditional pocket in a brand new Brine Clutch Elite, sent the photos in, and even referred to it as a “Connor Pocket” because he used a tear drop top string. I am honored that anyone would name their traditional work after me, but when a stringer of Lance’s quality does it? It’s a pure compliment!
NCAA D1 Lacrosse: A New Champion in 2013?
When one looks at the eight remaining NCAA D1 men’s lacrosse teams, it is easy to notice that half the teams have won national championships before, and half have not. What didn’t jump out to me right away (but came to me late at night in a dream) is that no past winners are playing each other, and neither are any first time hopefuls.
Casey Powell Leaving St. Andrew’s In Florida
After nearly three years as the Director of Lacrosse at St. Andrew’s School in Boca Raton, Florida, Casey Powell is moving on. A story in the Palm Beach Post outlines the departure, and mentions that RJ Dawson will stay on as the boys’ coach at the private school.
The WSJ Distills Lacrosse: Scholarships
The Wall Street Journal tackles lacrosse, so we tackle the Wall Street Journal. Is lacrosse really the land of golden scholarship opportunity that the WSJ makes it out to be?
Hot Pot: First Season – Calling All NEW Programs!
Lacrosse All Stars is putting the call out there to new programs from across the country, and around the world, to submit stories about their first year (or their first years) out on the field.
First Seasons: Highlands In Texas
We’ll be looking at a number of first year programs this year, and publishing reports from the coaches and supporters of these new teams. Our first report comes from Mary Mattia, out of Highlands, Texas. She played a key role in getting a new program off the ground, and continues to support these boys with their dreams in big ways. We LOVE sharing stories like this one!
We’re Down To EIGHT: Sunday D1 Lacrosse Recap
What was once 16, is now 8. In Saturday’s games, you did NOT want to come out with an early lead. It was basically a death sentence. Totally coincidental? Probably. On Sunday, we were treated to a great slate of games, and these four did not disappoint.
Full Title Game Video: Why Doesn’t JuCo Get Any Love?
Onondaga Community College just won their fifth straight NJCAA title in men’s lacrosse by topping Nassau CC 15-11 on Sunday. And yet, somehow, NO ONE in the media (outside of us) is really covering it!
Rob Pannell Being Rob Pannell: Shovel Goal
It’s a shovel shot, but for some reason it seems like more than that. Maybe it’s all the pressure Pannell was under right before shooting it. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s a playoff game. Maybe it’s the fact that Eamon gives it the SportsCenter Top 10 call… we’re not sure. We are sure, however, that this was a monster effort by RP3.
Video: OCC Beats Nassau For 5th Straight JuCo Title
Onondaga Community College and Nassau Community College absolutely went at it yesterday out on Long Island for the NJCAA Men’s Lacrosse national championship. OCC ended up with the 15-11 win, and their fifth straight title, and we were roundly impressed with the talent on both teams.
