I was invited to take pictures of Tuesday's Lacrosse match between Gulf Coast High and Golden Gate (yes, you can ask me to shoot your favorite school or club teams, and I will try to accommodate!) I was happy to come, in part because I had not only never shot pictures of Lacrosse before, I had never even seen a game. My knowledge was limited to the Lacrosse stick or racket kids play with.
It's actually a very exciting, fast moving, hard-hitting sport, that to my eye melds soccer with hockey. I was amazed to learn Lacrosse is the oldest team sport in North America, with a variation played by Native Americans, perhaps as far back as 1100.
In this match, Gulf Coast dominated throughout, but not surprisingly, because their program is older and more seasoned that Golden Gates'. I was also told that the Barron Collier team may be the best in the county, since they have been in operation the longest. I think a Cougar - Shark match would be a game to see for anyone who hasn't yet watched Lacrosse. You might become a fan.
