You go, We go.

Hey everybody.

Great win for the Cards on Saturday. SUNYAC's are what we have been preparing for all season so it's nice to see some results after all the hard work we have put in so far.

Also big thank you to all the Oswego parents for putting together our great pregame meal at Greene's. That was awesome and all the guys definitely appreciated it. Parents your hard work does not go unnoticed trust me.

The usual suspects put up 11 points. Brett McClelland had a big day in front of his home crowd with a 4 point day (3,1). Not to be outdone, his roommate and fellow middie Nick Travers had three points (1,2) and went 6 for 8 at the X. He also led the team with 7 GB's. Kramer had two goals and eleven Cardinals in total scored a goal, including freshman Connor DeNike who recorded his first college point. Congratulations Connor you did in 3 years quicker than it took me. CAUFIELD came up big with 15 saves.

Besides getting the W the big news of the day was Norchi breaking the schools career points record of 253 previously held by Luke Weidlein. After the game Mr.Norchi assured me that he is trying to teach Kyle how to share (Kyle went 3,0 on Saturday...the stats don't lie) and blames himself for Kyle's behavior.

Now I like to crack on Kyle a lot on here but the truth is the I'm extremely jealous of him. See not only is Kyle the leading points scorer in PSU history, he is also a Youtube sensation.

In 2006 Kyle was a senior at Hauppauge High School on Long Island. The team finished 11-5 during the regular season and was given a 7 seed in the sectional playoffs pitting them against cross town rival Smithtown East. The teams had faced each other in the final game of the regular season with Smithtown winning 15-14 in OT.

Well wouldn't you know that the underdog Eagles upset the heavily favored Bulls 14-10 to advance to the sectional semifinal. Kyle's team ended up losing in their next game to Comsewogue 9-8, ending Hauppauge's Cinderella run, but that doesn't matter.

See the real story is in one of the goals that was scored in that game. While on a man-up Hauppauge ran the ever elusive hidden ball trick and I think you can guess who pulled the trigger and scored the goal. Lucky for us the play was documented and put on Youtube, thoughtfully entitled "Sickest Lacrosse Play Ever". Believe it or not the video has gotten over 500,000 views, which, as a Youtube expert, I can say is a lot for video that doesn't feature cats or babies.

There are so many things I love about this video. I will simply just let judge for yourself.



Despite having been posted almost 5 years ago, it still gets comments, almost daily.

Funny side note: Joe Tansey, a LSM on our team who is red shirting this year due to an injury, was actually on the field as a downer for Smithtown. Tansey had been pulled up as a sophomore for sectionals. To this day he still gets angry when the goal is brought up. Also I believe rules have been passed since this game that would now make this play illegal. Kyle Norchi, changing lacrosse one play at a time.

Big week for us coming up. First up we begin our second tour of duty in the Battle for the North Country when we head to St.Lawrence on Wednesday night.

Then on Friday at 7p.m. we are playing in our first ever "Protect Your Equipment" game against Morrisville at home. The game is being played in order to raise money and awareness for Breast and Prostate Cancer. We will be wearing special jerseys for the game. It's gonna be awesome.

Sorry it took so long for the blog to be posted. I spent the night in Oswego. Always a great time there.

Apparently I have got at least one reader to start watching Swamp People (Middie Kevin Alonge's mom). I strongly urge you to take a gander. If you're still apprehensive take a look at swamp legend Troy explaining "One Eye"




People, it only gets better. Trust me.
