Drake Porter, Right, Goalie

He can stop the ball, which is the key criteria for a good goalie, but it's awfully nice to have a goalie like Porter who can also be trusted to run the ball up the field, get involved to create numbers in transition and make good passes and smart decisions when he's away from the crease.

lacrosse is a team sport. :noidea:

Certainly is, referring to a sports academy that is supposedly comprised of major talent across the board from all over. Pt is top teams and talent pool from NY, Conn, NJ, Pa. region runs plenty deep
