They Take A Lickin', And Keep On Stickin'

Ashleigh and Elliott are in full lacrosse swing.  Ashleigh is co-captain of her varsity team and Elliott is co-captain of his junior varsity team.  I have made it to one game each.  Elliott scored once and had an assist at his game early on.  Boys lacrosse is very physical and he took a hard shot.  That woke him up and he upped his game big time.  Very aggressive and was putting some good checks and stick hits on.  They wound up losing 5-6 but played well against a very good team.

Ashleigh played today and her team was down 4-9 at one point.  They were slowly creeping back in and it was 8-11 when Ashleigh took a hit to the head (girls don't wear helmets).  The game was stopped and the girl who hit her got yellow-carded (penalized and removed from the game for a few minutes).  She was hurting for a minute or two but stayed in.  That hit got her fired up too and she scored the next two goals - unassisted.  They tied it at 11 but lost 11-12.  Good games!
