Melrose travels to Reading Friday for a 4 p.m. showdown with Reading for a shot at the Middlesex League title. Reading has an experienced team led by Coach Andrew Viselli, a team which defeated Melrose 3-1 early in the season.
The Melrose-Reading rivalry goes back for quite awhile, with Melrose winning the series in 2003 (2-0), beating Reading in the Division II North semis in 2004 to capture the series (2-1), and Melrose handling the Rockets (2-0) in 2005. Numerous players from the programs have played with and against each other in Junior Olympics, leading to spirited competition.
Reading has promised to get its fans there early, to try to 'lock out' the Melrose fans, so if you want a seat for the four o'clock game at Coolidge Middle School across from the High School, you'll need to be there early.
Lady Raider Notes: Lydia Ciccone is leading the drive to publish a volleyball cookbook as a fundraiser for next season, so get her your recipes pronto. I may even have to contribute my 'popover' recipe...
