Just 11 miles south of Syracuse in upstate New York, adjacent to the Onondaga Indian Reservation, there is a small town named LaFayette where lacrosse reigns supreme. In LaFayette, children carry their lacrosse sticks around with them as though the sticks were attached to their hands and form pick-up games with their friends whenever they can. Many of the children in LaFayette often have dreams of one day playing collegiate lacrosse for a nationally recognized, Division I program and strive their entire adolescent lives trying to reach that goal.
