sweet. i hope they go to the effort to film the lacrosse action really well: like friday night lights. they might have trouble finding people to fill the roles though, with the need for 6 foot 6 250lb. black lacrosse players... i don't know of any. but they might be out there... hopefully they're good actors too.

Actors. . . .lacrosse players . . . . .Jim Brown. Too bad this movie wasn't being made 30 years ago.

For shame CATLAX... as a fellow alumnus and (if I recall correctly) parent of a UCSB player... Conklin-Moragne is pretty flippin sweet and I'm *pretty* sure he knows how to play.

When I was playing hs lax in St. Louis, another school, MICDS, had a kid about 6'6", 250 lbs. Perhaps 6 years removed my imagination has taken over, but I was 6'4" and he was taller than me. I don't recall him ever being able to pick up a ground ball though. Maybe Hollywood could help him out.

He knows how to play alright, can't speak to his acting ability.

I'll recommend two of my Calvin seniors:

Freeland Shaw, Dayton, OH, All-American Defenseman, 6' 0" 185 lbs

Image
AT Bulus, Chicago, IL, Midfielder, 6' 2" 215 lbs

Filming will have to fit into their likely enrollment in grad schools, though.
