In a recent New York State Lacrosse game, LaFayette HS defeated Homer HS 17-7. One player for the winning team had 10 goals and 3 assists.
Jameson Bucktooth, 16, is from the Onondaga Nation. “My Oñgwehoñwe name is Owhihsadeka’ and it translates to Burning Ice,” said Jameson. “I am a sophomore at LaFayette Sr. HS south of Syracuse, NY, after a year of prep school. I play hockey for the Syracuse Cougars, field lacrosse for LaFayette Sr. HS, and box lacrosse for the Akwesasne Storm.”
“My mom said I never had toys, and that I always had a stick and ball with me,” said Jameson. “At the age of 3 I began playing hockey in the winter and lacrosse in the summer. I played for the Onondaga RedHawks from age 3 to 11 years old, where we won championships almost every year. From there, I began to play lacrosse with the Akwesasne Storm.”
