Please People, Stop the Press,,,There is a team of new sheriffs coming, and they are the talk of Baltimore ... and possibly the nation ,
You know them as the.......PREDATORS !!!
Posted by the proud Dad of the 5th Defenseman on Preds... a dad who never played lacrosse and who has never watched a game with an elite youth lacrosse team in his life.
Easy there big girl. You obviously have no idea about lacrosse as the 4th and 5th poles are usually the LSM's...the most athletic players on field.
There is a book by Bob Scott, Lacrosse Technique and Tradition,,, seek it out. Learn a few things
LSM are LSM. While they are often in on man down, they are not the 4th or 5th D player on the depth chart. They are LSM.
1-3 Close D , 4-5 LSM , Every Coach has it that way on starting lineup for Poles
hahahaha.... That's like saying the 4th and 5th attackmen are midfielders because they have short sticks... You must be a Rec dad/coach.
I can assure you that the elite HOCO teams recruit specific players for the LSM role and those players are listed as LSM's. My son plays on an elite team and their D1 would not be able to play LSM at the same level as their student LSM. Likewise, the LSM, while solid at close D, is not on the same level as the starters in that role.
