I'll watch it for 5-10 minutes here or there, because I find it a little boring to watch. But I think it'd be a blast to play. Unfortunately, very few high schools in the Columbus area even had a team back when I was in school. It's really caught on in recent years, though. I definitely would've played it in the spring if it'd been offered.

I think I feel a little alienated when watching it, because I've never played it, and don't have a great understanding of the rules or strategies. So I'm not sure if boring is the best way to describe it, but for some reason, I just have a tough time getting into it.

I follow a lot of the Ohio high school teams. Watch it whenever its on TV too. There's a new pro team in Delaware, Ohio (just north of Columbus) for this year.

When did high school lacrosse start to catch on in the Cincinnati area? I know in Columbus, the only schools I can think of that had boys lacrosse teams back in my day were St. Charles, the Dublin schools, the Worthington schools and Upper Arlington. There were literally 5-6 teams tops in the entire area.

This. Next you're going to tell me there's professional soccer.

The MLL (major league lacrosse) has 8 teams in Denver, Ohio, charlotte, chesapeake, Rochester, Boston, long island, and Hamilton (toronto).

Within the last 5-10 years its gotten huge. I know that now there are over 120 schools that have lacrosse teams now and that number keeps on going up.

I'd heard it had really grown, but didn't know it'd grown THAT fast. Wow!

120 - is that just in the Cincinnati/Dayton area, or all throughout the state?

Gotcha. That's incredible how fast it's grown.
