20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
FOGO

This is a faceoff in the sport of lacrosse. The white player is winning the draw from the blue player. The name of the photo is an acronym (Face Off Get Off).A very familiar phrase in the sport of lacrosse. This is an example of the smaller athlete dominating at the faceoff against a much stronger and possibly quicker athlete with much less faceoff skills. The smaller athlete is a tactician and knows exactly what is moves are at all times.
