Here is a little bonus for
today. As you may have figured out so far, I prefer even numbers for leagues. The
last two posts featured two schools each so I thought I was good. Then I remembered that
Valley makes five (I am not counting River City since they are closer to Omaha than any of the other Iowa-based teams). In order to properly get the league going, I need six teams. So without further ado, the final team in the inaugural season of the Iowa High School Lacrosse League...
Southeast Polk Rams
A fourth metro team seemed to be the most logical at this point, but I also thought that a team on the opposite side of Des
Moines would be best. Although
Ankeny has strong potential,
SEP wins the first round because I have actually talked to students and faculty about starting a lax team there. In fact, the high school's
principle is a very big lacrosse fan.

The Rams look their best in black, but pairing the dark jersey with
athletic gold shorts gives provides an extra pop. It is a bold look, but one that will help SEP stand out from other teams wearing dark colors.


Because I see an onslaught of black helmets on the horizon, I chose to go with the athletic gold model for SEP. This utilizes the school's colors while providing a nice contrast to their black jerseys
ala DeWalt in the
American Lacrosse League.
