Description:	* 1smore than iust a ClubThe Bloomington South boys lacrosse team is more than the typical high school club team. Theyuse their lacrosse sticks and physical contact to engage in play and bring home victories.Theyre not afraid of physical contact. The success of the Bloomington High School Souths boys lacrosse team isa combination of brain, braun and brute force. With the allowance of physical contact in the club sport, theseboys are not hindered by penalties and game delays.This is not to say that they did not occur this season. According to first-year freshman, Yonathan Shere,cross checking and slashing were the most frequent penalties that hit the players. Shere described slashing ashitting the opponent in his back or side with the stick. Players most often use mesh or leather to play the game,which means that they are most often slashed or cross checked with those materials.Shere entered a small team this year. Souths club team was drastically smaller than many of the teamsthey faced. Shere stated they had around 15 players this year and most of the other teams have around 30players. Senior Justin Rogers experienced the exhaustion of a smaller team this year. According to Rogers, themidfielders, or middies, typically play about 15 minutes per game. Due to the lack of numbers, the Southmiddies played around 25 minutes at a time.Rogers ended the season and his lacrosse career the same as any other athlete - with a varsity letter. Eventhough it is a club sport, these athletes still received the honor of a varsity letter. Rogers said he will miss thephysicality of lacrosse. Its really fun because you get to be physical, Rogers said.The lacrosse athletes on both the boys and girls teams signed up to be aggressive and use their bodies asa tool for success. The bumps and bruises did not deter Shere or Rogers, and both hoped for that to spread toincrease numbers next year.-SIERRA TRIMBLEPANTHER [hoops] UPPAJTTHEB flOOPSBLOOMINGTON SOUTH0R\PAKTara hoopsBL00MIN6T0N SOUTHiff_ HOOPSON SOUTHf//VIVA FAHTHEB HOOPS t>k (/«£_.____PAHTHEB HOOPSBLOOMINGTON SOUTHFAHTHO HOOPSBLOOMtNSTONThe recreational basketball league.Panther Hoops, goes on in thepurple and white gyms atBloomington High School Southduring the winter season.
