Spring sports season is here! For many football players, attention shifts to lacrosse. The Lake Forest Scouts are two-time defending state champions in boys lacrosse.

One standout player is junior Emmet Lee.

Lee, a wide receiver for the football team, plays attack for the Scouts’ boys lacrosse team. This season will be Lee’s third on the varsity. Last fall, Lee committed to Cornell University for lacrosse.

He joins the Slants and Arrows podcast for the first time.

Topics discussed:

* What is the attack position and other positions in the sport of lacrosse

* Expectations for the 2026 season for the Scouts and key players

* Being injured for much of the 2025 lacrosse and football seasons and why he returned for one game last football season.

* The mental and physical skills needed to play both sports

* Why he chose Cornell over other options to play college lacrosse

Here are a few clips from the podcast:
