More Highlights from Melrose - Billerica

The State Champion 2012 team was loaded. Boston Herald Team of the Decade players Brooke Bell and Sarah McGowan headlined, but Jill MacInnes and Allie Nolan were future All-State players. Jen Cain was an outstanding college player. The "Great Wall" of Rachel Johnson and Kayla Wyland were superb blockers. Amanda Comitto was an ML All-Star defender. And Cassidy Barbaro packed serving punch. They had no weaknesses and punched first. 


Manon Marchais had lightning in her right arm. 


And here she brings thunder to a middle block. 


Staying fully engaged makes all the difference with a series of great defense. "Great defense is multiple efforts."
 

More Marchais magic at the net. Ryan Celli likes that. 


When teams play exceptionally well, they're tied as if on a string.
