Lacrosse
Returns to Hailey
The game of lacrosse dates back nearly 400 years to the early
French settlers in Canada and the Northeastern U.S. who used a curved
stick (crosse) to carry a ball in the pocket of a long-handled
stick—since, by the game’s rules, you could not touch the ball with your
hands. The equipment has been modernized, but it is still a tough game
played mostly in the East. Here in the Wood River Valley, the Wood River
Warriors lacrosse club recently formed, and the Warriors hosted Timberline
of Boise for two games Sunday in Hailey. Warriors’ midfielder Joe France
makes sure the ball is securely in the stick’s pouch as he goes on the
attack against Timberline. See story and photo on page B9. .
