system Lacrosse buffs In town are trying to get a minor lacrosse system going again this year This la not settled yet either but Bob Is hoping to go with three teams novice and bantam Many people connected with the sport felt last year the lack of success for the Junior Rams was caused by the absence of a minor system to train players Many Rams were playing for the first time In their life

Turkosz He odds there are many people interested in helping but they have to see if there are enough kids interested If the kids don have to pay for the equipment that should help theorized Mike Ian
