First Look: Volleyball Banquet

The Melrose Lady Raiders held their annual break up dinner tonight. It's late, but I'll review a few highlights.

• Coach Scott Celli celebrated the accomplishments, both team and individual from the 2009 season, including Melrose's fourth D2 North Championship, and big wins over Barnstable, Canton, and Bishop Feehan.
• Coach Celli thanked Coach Wall for his many contributions.
• Players received a variety of certificates, varsity letters, bars and stars (Captains), and other recognition.
  
• Jeff Mate' (VideoJam Productions) filmed and produced a wonderful highlight video of the 2009 season.
  
• The team presented some terrific mementos, especially some great Melrose Volleyball ball caps.
• Hannah Brickley was recognized as MVP, and Brickley and setter Colleen Hanscom both received MGVCA plaques as All-State players.
• Athena Ziavras, Jill Slabacheski, and Alyssa DiRaffaele were voted captains for 2010.

A terrific night for a great group of players, coaches, and the entire Melrose Volleyball family.
