I was going off of what SV said about James Madison. Another FCS school beat the big boys. Yale won their first title against a team that won 3 of them since 2010. Yale 9 appearances, Duke 22. I think you have Yale mixed up with someone like Syracuse or John Hopkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yale is a top 5 school in America...located in Connecticut. No, I don't have them mixed up with anyone. That's lax country fam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grand Cities JV team defeated Watertown, SD for the JV championship. The 14U team defeated Black Hills for 3rd place, and the 12U team defeated Bismarck/Mandan for 3rd place. Next up for Grand Cities Lacrosse are some summer tournaments and day camps here in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the sale of Ray Richards is all but assured, UND should just bite the bullet and dive in with both feet. LAX is less niche every day, and will bring eyeballs. Would not want to cede it to the Bison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think the administration would want to deal with the PR nightmare associated with canning Baseball, Swimming and Diving, and Women's Hockey only to start a lacrosse team? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bigger a nightmare than closing Ray Richards and repurposing the gifted land, in the process alienating the GF golfing community. Assuming a cash infusion from the sale, why not invest in a program that is gaining significant traction, especially at the local youth level as highlighted by OP. Build for the future. At last report, traditional sports such as baseball and football were hemorrhaging young participants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGSIOUX Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 closing ray richards alienated the GF golfing community? a stretch at best. Its not UND's job to make sure there are enough places to golf in grand forks. maybe if the park district had more than one focus, (hockey) they would have forseen such issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you talk to golfers? This is ALL you hear at Lincoln Park. And why would the city invest (waste) money in developing golf courses when the market was adequately served? As far as I know, UND closing Ray Richards was not on the radar until quite recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGSIOUX Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Yes, 3 x a week. maybe there is a shortage for casual golf, but its still not UND's job to provide it. EGF, manvel, crookston and larimore would be happy to fill that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darell1976 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Just curious how many parks have frisbee golf? Maybe the park district could turn Ray Richards into a Frolf course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the park district could turn Ray Richards into a Frolf course. That land is too valuable for that. There's at least three frisbee golf courses between GF and EGF. I think they serve the need for both cities quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop option is interesting as already they do swimming, wrestling, and gymnastics co-op on ND side. But i don't think EGF has numbers to do it. Baseball didn't even start until like 6 years ago. EGF already has too many sports for size. TRF is bigger school that offers less options for kids. Travel is also a killer. To many long trips. BTW boys volleyball is now going to be Minnesota high school sport. It will be interesting to see if anyone outside metro adds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe EGF can start it, and GF boosters can help pay for it. Lax needs a HS league to flourish. Here’s a Star article about boys HS VB. http://www.startribune.com/boys-volleyball-gets-a-foothold-among-minnesota-high-schools/479934373/ Girls volleyball now has the most HS participants of any girls sport in MN. Also, for the most part, colleges need men’s volleyball for their women’s team to be champions, as the two seem to go hand in hand. The HS boys aren’t sponsored the the MN HS league yet, but by a regional volleyball association. Have long thought Men’s volleyball would be a actual crowd pleaser at UND, and it doesn’t take many scholarships, but more local players are needed.

SiouxVolley Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Perhaps the Horizon League can start men’s lacrosse now. Utah isn’t getting into the ACC or Big East and Cleveland St and Detroit Mercy are homeless. Perhaps Air Force can be had and maybe Bellarmine. https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/opinion-we-need-to-bring-back-a-western-based-lacrosse-conference/53008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
