On today's episode of the Lax Lounge we welcome one of our former teammates and all around good guys Colton Padgett. Not only was Colton a member of the 2019 Cabrini squad that won the division III national championship but he is fresh off of a division II national championship with Lenoir-Rhyne. Colton talks about the similarities in both of his championship runs, what it was like growing up and playing in Washington state and how he transitioned to playing east coast lacrosse, and how he's been spending his time playing box lacrosse now that his illustrious college career has ended. We go on to discuss some of the recent shows we've been watching while on our summer break and a potential career we might be embarking on in pickle ball? We wrap up with a draft of the best energy drinks which our experience as both college students and athletes gives us a lot of credibility to discuss. It was a great conversation that you are not gonna want to miss!
