Look back at past teams that have entered the WSYL, some teams you never heard of. The tournament has set a precedent for creating teams for this event. If they wanted it different they would make the team requirements more stringent. |
They want money. 100 mile radius and a 2 tournament requirement (including the qualifier) says it all. |
Not the person who originally wrote this, but Madlax “poached” some kids from NL a few years ago following the teams sharing some players for a WSYL team. But that’s not the reason you won’t likely see a combination. These clubs are business competitors and don’t often work together. Rarely play in tournaments the other is sponsoring. Because of the way BLC is run (decentralized collection of coaches other than DCE overlay) it isn’t a competitor for business in the same way ML and NL are. Neither side would see a benefit to helping the other. VLC doesn’t really compete with NL for players. Most VLC are VA based. NL mostly MD. Practices are too far for most people to consider both programs except maybe at high school level. So a VLC, NL, and BLC combo can fly, but unlikely you’ll see an NL and Ml combo. |
Not a MadLax kook aid drinker, but I do call BS when I hear it - I highly doubt that the owner's 2024 sons have ever played down in 2026. |
Believe what you want. The post their rosters on their site. They were on that team. |
| The people’s confusion above is because there are kids with the last name “Maddux” on other ML teams and people assume they are the owner’s sons. Not sure what the relationship is, if any, other those kids on the 26/27 rosters, but the sons are 24 and 28. The 24s are not playing down. Those are different kids. Not everything involving ML is some conspiracy or cheating. |
To be fair, those names arent hard to confuse. If you said playing 1 year down, I wouldn't even question you. |
I'm the guy who asked, that makes sense from what I've personally seen. |
They are not his kids. They are his nephew's one is a 26 and another is a 27. |
| 37 pages and going strong. Lax parents are the best. Nonstop entertainment. |
| Yes, and I am sure you have done no posting and no reading of those 37 pages over the past couple of months. Dropped in today for the first time, right? |
No posting, but definitely have been reading.

| Looks like the lax gods spoke and we'll see the two go head to head in the qualifier - https://lacrosse.exposureevents.com/164110/2021-wsyl-east-qualifier/schedule |
| Black Ops and MadLax Monuments |
Only happen if they both make it to the championship game - highly unlikely. |
