Lacrosse
Most people really don’t realize that the sport with the most history in this country isn’t baseball or football, not hockey or basketball or golf, it’s actually lacrosse. The sport was originally played by Native Americans before the days of an overrated explorer known as Columbus.
I’m not going to sit here and tell you about the rules of lacrosse and how it all works but I am going to lobby that as fans of the Ohio State University we should take notice that we have one of the more competitive Men’s Lacrosse teams in the country this season. I have had the unique opportunity to play lacrosse through high school and now commentate the OSU’s Men’s Lacrosse games on student radio. I can tell you that this team is legitimate and come May 17th they will contend for a national title in the NCAA tournament as a 10 seed.
The team is 10 and 5 with a 4 and 1 record in the GWLL and won a share of the regular season conference title and advanced to the final round of the conference tournament. Lead by senior attackman and team points leader Kevin Buchanan the Buckeyes have gone risen above all the pundits expectations this season. It has been my pleasure and privilege watching these student athletes compete all season long and I hope everyone takes a moment out of their day on the 17th to watch them play against Cornell. You will see a team with a great deal of attitude and swagger representing our school with a punishing brand of play.
