Mario Enea walked out of an orientation at Robert Louis Stevenson School in Pebble Beach, California and saw his first lacrosse game.

He turned to his father and asked "Dad- what game is that?" and his father replied, "That is Lacrosse and Jim Brown was an All American."

Mario told his father "Well dad, I would really like to come to school here and play Lacrosse."

The year was 1986 and he hasn't put his stick down since.
