Perfect Practice Makes Perfect

Melrose will be back in action at HOME Monday as they entertain Burlington. Burlington-Melrose games haven't produced a lot of highlights, perhaps excepting a couple of surprising blocks in the 2005 year when Melrose girls blocked Burlington BOYS who were playing on their first team.

Actually, for the most part, the defensive coverage against Belmont was good. Considering it was the first game, the passing received a 'passing' grade. Serve receive improved after a slow start, and blocking was hard to assess given Belmont's limited hitting opportunities.  One area for improvement was clearly service errors, with a peak at five in the second game. "Experience is the best teacher, but sometimes the tuition is high."

Scott Celli had to be pleased with Brooke Bell's 22 assist performance, although Lefty doesn't appear thrilled here.

Jill Slabachesky had her 'A' game yesterday.

Freshman defensive specialist Cassidy Barbaro is a key contributor in the back row.  With a little luck and a lot of skill , maybe in four years she'll eclipse the current record for most playoff game appearances, 15.
