1998 Mazda Protege with 202,000 miles. Car will not start. Get a boost and car starts asap. Shut car off and restart car right away - car will not start. Car holds 12 volts off and when trying to start. What could be the problem?

Change your battery. It may be showing 12 volts but it is the amps that turn over the starter.
