Wish we could say that was the title of this article, but we're saving it for the title of our first book. What we're really looking to explore here is who takes top honors in the W&L athletic community, Lacrosse or Football?
LAX:
The Top Deuces on Campus: First off, the battle of number 22s is a no contest. Skeen dominates and the little safety who couldn't, Chris Prugar, is nothing more than a cheerleader on the field. And don't tell me this is a comparison of apples and oranges, it's more like a comparison of a safety who can't hit and a Ninja who can't stop scoring.
Hello, Meatsticks: One thing we can all respect is commitment. I've seen a total team commitment to performance enhancers from football players in my house. N-O Explode, Cell Mass, you name it, these guys are abusing it. Whatever, it is a legal advantage. We're giving this the thumbs down for the lone reason that the last thing Jack Martin needs is a bigger head.
Sex and Style: Lax players are just pure, raw, sweetness. No other sport combines athletic ability with so many fashion statements. Lax mullets, colored mesh/sticks, wristbands, leg bands, cleats, socks, helmets, cool gear. Lax is show time while football is a battle of the trenches. Plus football players get smooshed foreheads from their helmets. Lax helmets allow for your hair to flow and you to look cool. -Charlie McCombs #40
The Pundits have Spoken: While the football team hasn't sniffed the top 25 since any of us were born, W&L Lax is a perennial Top 25 team, with this year's preseason ranking of 16. With Lacrosse games this spring against the number 20, 2, 6, 8, 7, 11, and 9 ranked teams in the country, there's hardly a game that can be missed. With two losses in their final three games, the football team took a back door into the playoffs. Playing in the hardest division in the country, the Lacrosse team is going to be doing it real BIG under the tutelage of first-year taskmaster Gene McCabe this season.
