He has not been introduced to Mike Jordan yet then?

Thought Paul Rabil was born and bred Maryland?
USA West guy told me in Berlin that they were set up to provide opportunities for lacrosse players outside the traditional hot-bed lacrosse areas.
I would check the grapevine.

When we played them in Prague I thought they were college players not high school?
Either way they were very good and as UKLaxfan said the idea was to get players from the non traditional lacrosse areas to experience the tour and high evel lacrosse. They put the team together last year with the intention being to win both Berlin and Prague, they won Berlin but lost to another US college team in the final of Prague.
They seemed like good guys and were a very good side.

Haha, that first pic is amazing! I still can't believe how fast that little guy was though... The second one looks like a nice cross-check from me as well. Awesome photos from the weekend - cheers.
I believe USA West were high-schoolers but yes, some of them are heading off to D1 programs next year.

he really was that small, meant trying to do a takeout on him was ill advised (instant headcheck) plus i wish there is a pic of rob clark doing a bull dodge on him. He was sooo fast though, it was like watching roadrunner!

Surely that has to be photoshop?
Is he small of far away?
How tall was the guy 4' 6"?
What position was he, he could be pretty useful at Face-off if he was quick?
I don't recommend he sets many picks though
How many times did defenders marking him go for the over the head check?

my photoshopping skills are not that good lol! thats 100% the real deal! He could certainly shift! They had a couple of really small guys. Was talking to one of the USA West dads and they thought it was going to be an U-19's contest when they entered...whoops, still they gave as good as they got!

That small kid played against Cheshire, he was super fast, and ruled the fast break, his handling skills were excellent. On a single run Chris Kearney and Nick Carley, could match him but he had two yards on everyone else. His stamina was great as well and only Adrian Wright was able to consistently keep pace with him!
