The new Gatorade commercial entitled "Pump It Up" features a lacrosse scene 22 seconds in to the commercial. The lacrosse scene follows slam dunk highlights from All-World bballer Dwayne Wade and WNBA phenom Candace Parker. The high octane commercial also displays Denver Outlaws and MLL All Star attackman Brendan Mundorf "pumping up" a Washington Bayhawk.

We first showed you a peek at Reebok's Hydro-Fusion heads a few weeks ago, and earlier we told you a bit more about the possibilities with the technology. Now, we wanted to give you a closer look at Reebok's Houndstooth design for heads with their Hydro-Fusion technology. More photos after the jump.
We’ve definitely seen some heads out there that have looked pretty money after a sick dye job. But with Reebok’s factory-made heads, they might just give a new definition to the phrase “that head is money.” In 2010, Reebok’s line of heads will feature their new Hydro-fusion technology. With all of the major lacrosse companies now featuring their heads with factory colors that retain the same warranty as their traditional white heads, Reebok has taken that a whole step further be adding patterns and designs to the head. Find out more (and see tons more pictures) after the jump.
It’s no secret that defensive middies have been an integral part of the game. UVA’s Chris Rotelli and Billy Glading catapulted the reemergence of two-way middies just a few years ago which inevitably garnered attention to D-Middies.

The vital role D-Middies play in the MLL and at any level for that matter is irreplaceable.
