Why does it matter if Madlax has holdbacks?? The big middie and attackman are not better that the starting attackmen or middies on the WP. Let them play the age game, it has not done anything for their success. Also with the WSYL, obviously the holdback situation stops them from going. I love the posts that says "Madlax doesn't go because parents don't want to spend the $ and waste time there" but in another post they post that where they live is one of the wealthiest places to live in America. C'mon man how does that make sense??? And as far as business is concerned.. and believe me that's what travel lacrosse is, Madlax should be going to WSYL for business purposes alone, but CAN'T. So play the age game, win some tournaments and skip WSYL if that what makes you happy. But in the end the success rate has not gone up for this team.
