Sorry I didn't post sooner, I hope it isn't too late.
Landon does not like the idea of incorporating girls. I hate to be
so harsh and blunt; but quite frankly, we really disdain it.
There are a number of reasons that we do not like a madatory gender
ratio, many of them have been previously posted.
Simply, we have a team made up of people that go to our school; we
want to keep it that way. We want girls on our team no more or less
than we want guys that don't go to our school. They wouldn't be on
our team, they would be essentially one person playing pick up with
a group that spends upwards of 10 hours a day together. We have a
school team and do not want to take on anyone else.
I think it would really take somehting away from our enjoyment of
the game and being a team to have players that are not on our team
forced onto us. We play together at least five days a week, take
classes together, and hang out outside of school. This idea that is
floating around does not sit well with us. People who aren't on our
team aren't on our team.
I am sure that I missed something or that this will leave someone
wanting to say somethings to me. I would appreciate an email at

and just a thought:
With these thirteen exceptionally talented girls, you could field an
all-female team as an antithesis to the Landons of the leaugue.
