Now, we're a website run by a Duxbury kid, and we view anyone who might play Duxbury as Enemies who need to be Smited.
That said, we're also suckers for a good cause, and the watch of the Good Cause generally rules the hour on these pages.
Allow me to cut-n-paste a bit, K?

Course Map:
Lacrosse is a tremendous sport. It is distinct to the Northeast, as it (in Native form, with 1000 player teams contesting the game for 3 days) was regularly played by Iroquois people. It dates back to about 1100 AD. It was called "the Creator's game," and those who played it were considered to be warriors.
The French co-opted the game ("la crosse" is a French term, stolen from field hockey's "la jeu de la crosse," applied to any stick with a curved end... don't ask me why, the French part of the team is out at the bus stop with the Cub Reporter), and it is still a very popular game in the Northeast.
Jim Thorpe, Bill Belichick and Jim Motherf***ing Brown were or are lovers of lacrosse. More than one sportswriter has said that it was Brown's best sport.
Lacrosse is also good for the kids. If your kid plays lacrosse, she will
A) be in great shape
B) take part in a positive, social, team sport
C) be on a field, supervised, playing a positive sport at an hour of the day when other kids are gang-fighting, smoking synthetic THC, killing small animals, sleeping with the local greasers, embracing Satanism, etc...
D) perhaps get really good at the sport, and merit herself a free ride to Syracuse or Johns Hopkins
E) get to hit the popular, snobby girls in the back with a huge stick.
It's win/win, but Marshfield Girls Lacrosse needs help to make all of that happen. You can provide that help by taking part in the Wrong Way 5K. All of the details are in the stuff I cut-n-pasted.
Let's be honest... you could also use a few hours of exercise. Yes, I'm looking at you, and you could stand to lose a few pounds. Get on out there and support the community!
