Video: Ingenious Hidden Ball Trick
One of the top teams in the nation gets creative
Darien (Conn.) pulled off one of the best hidden ball tricks you'll ever see in high school lacrosse.
The Blue Wave had something up their sleeve during the Fairfield County Interscholastic Athletic Conference championship game against rival New Canaan.
Rock Stewart and goalie
Ryan Cornell covered the ball with their sticks and made an exchange with their backs to the Rams.
Essentially the entire Rams defense and all cameras followed Cornell as he turned and shot upfield. Cornell dove near midfield as the Rams stood in confusion with the ball nowhere in sight.
Moments later, the camera panned to the Rams' net as
Colin Minicus sprinted off the field celebrating a goal to the crowd's roaring applause.
Duped!
"That's a highlight reel that everybody will be thinking about for years to come," Darien coach Jeff Brameier told
Sean Bowley of GameTimeCT.comThe goal spurred Darien to capture its third-consecutive FCIAC title with a 9-5 victory. The Blue Wave are undefeated this season and the No. 3 team according to the
Xcellent 25 National Boys Lacrosse Rankings presented by the Army National Guard.
