The First Day

Fresh is special. Newly minted MVB callups Ella Friedlaender and Elise Marchais embark on their varsity journeys. That reminds us of our varsity debuts and the varsity launches of our children.

Savor the experience; don't be overwhelmed. You earned MVB selection; promotion is never gifted. Former Melrose Athletic Director Sonny Lane told us many times after success, "I'm pleased but I'm not satisfied."

Commit to playing smart, playing hard, and playing together regardless of the opponent. Years ago an opposing coach trash talked MVB after Melrose swept a team on the road. MVB won the rematch first set 25-3. Statement made.

Exceptional teams don't play down to the level of the competition. They take care of business. That also allows everyone to play. 


Be the beast.
