I feel this in my soul! Having grown up on Onondaga Hill and a West Genny kid, I also coached BULL in the Valley and played in many leagues at Jones Road. I played in the “All-Star Express” at B’Ville with friends from CNS, Auburn, Liverpool and Baldwinsville who went on to play at Syracuse, UNC, and Duke. Mind you I played women’s lacrosse but it was the same way. My friends who played men’s lax played their mornings at Shove Park, then worked the camp at WGMS then later in the day probably played at Jones Road at night. You’re right, there is nothing like this anymore. Everything is exorbitant pay-to-play travel teams and every weekend is a different tournament somewhere at least 4 hours away.
Thanks Colleen! Yea Idk if CNY is the greatest place of all time, but at least it's good to know they got somethings right, even if it was just for a little while!
