In the heart of the Southern United States, there lies a state named Alabama or AL for short. Now, AL was not like your ordinary state, it was loaded with mysteries and filled with young adventurers. There was a special group of them, known as the Lacrosse Lads and Lassies of Alabama. They lived in the land of swaying cotton fields and sweet, syrupy southern accents, where grits were as common as grass and where everyone's first language was football. But oh boy, did these Lacrosse Lads and Lassies dance to a different tune! Instead of tossing footballs, they swung their lacrosse sticks in the warm southern sun, sending balls whizzing through the air like mini UFOs. They were as swift as the mightiest Alabama river, and as tricky as the raccoons prowling the woods. Their mascot was a jovial, giant squirrel named Squiggy, who had a peculiar fondness for lacrosse balls. Squiggy was quite the character, always scampering around the field and causing buckets of giggles. He’d often try to snatch the lacrosse ball mid-game, only to send it flying in a totally unexpected direction. More than once, the Lacrosse Lads and Lassies found themselves chasing after Squiggy and shouting, "Squiggy, you sly squirrel, that’s not a nut!" It was a wild sight, and the legends of Squiggy and the Lacrosse Lads and Lassies soon echoed across the valleys of Alabama. So you see, in Alabama, things might be slower, but they are never, ever boring, especially when you’ve got a lacrosse stick in one hand and a nut-loving squirrel running wild.
