Ginormous Lacrosse Hit, Best You’ll See All Week

Ginormous Lacrosse Hit

St. Cloud Tech (sick name) player takes down a Spring Lake Park middie with a huge hit as he comes out of the box. This coverage was filmed in Blaine, Minnesota, by North Metro TV.

John Ranagan Bulldozes Loyola Player, Breaks Stick With Body At Same Time

Comments under the video state that the player received a three minute non-releasable. I’m not condemning this hit because I think it may have been legal. Officials today, automatically throw a flag if the player did not have enough time to react to an oncoming player. However, the Spring Lake Park player had plenty of time! His peripheral was limited. I’m going to have naysayers that will note that the Spring Lake Park player was hit from the side, which is technically from behind. Further, one might observe that the player extended his arms, crosschecked, and etc. The hit was good. We hope the player on the other end of it is ok.

    Too bad that old school Lax is becoming a thing of the past. Looked like a clean hit to me. After all….Lacrosse is still considered to be a contact sport…. right?

    I have three issues with that clip that really bug me.
    1 That commentator is an idiot! There was no contact to the head! What the hell is an “elbow to the head type check anyway” ?

    2 The dude who got nailed needs to keep his head up looking around the field and more importantly HIS TEAM MATES NEED TO TALK!!!

    3 To the guy who made the hit if he had just lead into the hit with his shoulder and made the the principle point of contact instead of his hands then in no way would it have looked even slightly illegal, not to mention it would have been 10 times harder.

    I undestand there is a penalty (push from behind) but it shouldnt be a 3 minute non releasable

    #25 actually only got called a 1 minute penalty for Unnecessary Roughness. I different received the two 30 second penalies and a 3 minute penalty for misconduct, and received an ejection. So the refs knew it wasn’t illegal, they just felt obligated to call something.

    Clean hit with a shoulder to shoulder. I like it, the penalty was excessive. Heads on a swivel for a reason, not just for defense, and yes teammates need to call out to each other on incoming threats.

    Commentator says, “contact to the head.” There was absolutely no head contact.

    Officials are turning this into a soft sport. This is a perfectly legal hit — in the chest, below the head, didn’t leave his feet. Lacrosse is a contact sport. Officials need to learn that.

    If anything it’s a push with possession. Hit looks to be clean, unless of course he lined the player up from more than 5 yards away, which it would appear he did.
