Yeah theres a guy in my town that was a dwarf that played lacrosse. He still works at a local shop that sells lacrosse stuff. I don't think he was ever really that good though.

That's pretty cool and inspiring. However, I chuckled a little bit when they tried to do like a serious imposing picture of him in his helmet. That aggressive tilt just made me giggle.

FHS, that's really motivating. I'm bookmarking that link so the next time a kid whines that he's not getting varsity or playing time, I can point him there.
As a defense man, the biggest problem I ever had was an attack man who I underestimated, and let get away for a feed that resulted in a shot or 'one more' that cost us a goal. If Brogden is scoring points, I'll bet that he's being underestimated.
More power to him. A big "Go Foothill!" from the Santa Barbara ref crew (Coach Fox will appreciate that).

anyone that says anything negative about him is dumb.. thats a good story and everyone should give him mad props.. and if you think its like playing a girl.. he would probably tool you.. people who have disabilities and play sports dont want you to take it easy.. they wanna play

I played against the foothill jv team when bill played with them last year. He's talented no doubt about that. I think he scored a hat trick and they ended up beating us 16-0.

Yeah, he played for my school.
Apparently, he was actually decent considering his size. He played goalie, so people would only shoot high on him. a simple style adjustment, and he managed to be reasonably effective.
He even earned the nickname "stonewall."
might have just been patronizing, though.
