Junior Elijah Fernandez is a member of the Jonathan Law boys lacrosse team. Advocate Staff Reporter Joey Amaro interviewed Fernandez about Law’s spring season. 

Amaro: What do you like most about lacrosse?

Fernandez: It is a very exciting sport. I play defensive middie and it is a lot of running. It gets intense, especially when you’re guarding someone at the 25 yard line and they’re about to dodge.

JA: When did you start playing and why?

EF: I began playing lacrosse my sophomore year. Honestly, I only decided to play due to it being another contact sport that I can play, my football teammates being interested, and the endurance aspect of the sport.

JA: How did the team’s season go?

EF: This year, our season did not go the greatest, nor as planned, but we made the most of it and I enjoyed every minute of it. 

JA: What were your goals for the season, and did you fulfill them? 

EF: My goals for the season were to improve my lacrosse IQ and feet skill, I did indeed fulfill these goals. 

JA: If you had to play any position besides your current one, what would it be and why? 

EF: If I had to play any position besides midfielder it would have to be long stick midfielder. I enjoy using a long pole, but I don’t really like the aspect of staying on one side of the field at all times. So that is where long stick midfielder comes into play where I would be able to go anywhere on the field, all while using a long pole.
