Raw nerves in Maryland and DMV. Firm beliefs that our kids have higher lacrosse IQs and all that drivel. It makes all the sense in the world to me that there is parity in the youth game now in places like Texas and California. Soon to be North Carolina and others if not already. I do get concerned that the negative aspects of lacrosse including early recruiting and abject lunacy of club owners and crazy parents don't alienate the masses back to other sports. If the competitive side of lacrosse revs up with all of the negatives with it, I'd be concerned that the growth of lacrosse in places like the Carolinas will stagnate quick.
