October 2008 issue includes a great story on Albany's Mike Banks and how he turned from a member of the Bloods and being in jail and how lacrosse saved his life.
For most laxers, a trip down memory lane conjures fond reverie about car rides with teammates and older brothers showing them the finer points of managing your stick's whip. But for one of the game's best up-and-coming defensemen - Albany's Mike Banks - the past is a rocky place, rife with drug-slinging and jail time. Freelance writer Damian Andrew explores the road that carried Banks from the streets of Norwalk to the cusp of stardom.
