Photo of me both scoring in the 85 finals and losing to Hopkins with a Brine Super Light II with a semi-hard mesh pocket. This was my only goal as a SU player but I actually scored a similar behind the back goal against White Plains as a senior attackman at Croton Harmon. Larry Quinn, in the goal here, would later play with me on several teams. He told me that Hopkins scouting report going into this game said I might shoot or something to that affect.As for the all important stick in the game of lacrosse, I used a STX Sam head with a traditional pocket strung with 5 or 6 large holes and a white shaft my junior year; my senior year I changed to a Brian Super Light II with a mesh pocket and metal shaft. What a drag trying to keep a shaft you really liked straight back then! The new technology in which stick manufacturers use the same Titanium metal used in the aircraft construction industry makes today shafts so much lighter and stronger. But boy are the new ones expensive! Since high school I dyed my own heads. I may have learned how while attending Walt Munsey’s All American Lacrosse camp at Le Moyne College my sophomore year in high school. I attended the camp that year with SU teammates Rhett Cavanaugh and Matt Cacciato. When I played at SU, we had to purchase our white heads from the equipment room for $5.00, the price of several Dome dogs during a SU football game. The athletic department heavily subsidized the prize of the head and gave us an unlimited supply of pockets and shafts for free. Shafts then were about $10 as compare to about $100 today for the James Bond models they sell. Good stuff but folks many of us have several children playing and it’s just too expensive!
