This may have been my first lacrosse game in January. UVa scrimmaged Bucknell; in spite of a very enthusiastic Bison team, the Wahoos took control after the first quarter.
The sun was warm but the wind was brisk. But lacrosse begs spring as the smell of bourbon begs fall.
Always fun to watch a lacrosse game with Coach Harris. As I wondered where the ball is, he’s making 25 observations about offensive strategy, defensive strategy, status of the clock, the evolution of the stick, substitutions, which player went to what high school, recruits for next year. Truly a man who mastered his craft.
