Analyze the claim and context

The goal is to convince the school principal to create an activity or group that brings teenagers together. The specific claim is: "Lacrosse should become a varsity sport at our school." Supporting reasons must directly show feasibility, student interest, or practical opportunities for this sport at the school.

• "Sporting goods stores often sell lacrosse sticks." (Irrelevant general fact; does not support school-specific adoption.)
• "Other high school lacrosse teams are seeking opponents." (Supports the claim by showing there is an active local league/competition available.)
