Using physicality and high-caliber skills, Duke-bound Austin Hicks leads St. Margaret's to No. 1 ranking in lacrosse.
When Austin Hicks was in third grade, he lost interest in playing baseball. His mother signed him up for lacrosse camp. “I found my calling,” he said. He soon joined a recreation league and remembers seeing his coach demonstrating how to put the ball into the goal with the stick. “The coach was doing a drill and showing us how to shoot,” he said. “He put in a perfect shot in the corner of the goal. The shot was so pretty and mesmerizing.
“My best ability is to be able to get a shot off and get my hands free and that comes from being a physical player,” he said. Kelly said top players in California are comparable to others, but the lack of depth leaves the East Coast superior. 'I do think the talent is highly concentrated at the top,' he said. Lacrosse is at a crossroads. After explosive youth growth some 10 years ago, Kelly says he believes it has leveled off or slightly declined.
