Coach Celli nominates his player of the week at Maxpreps.com. This week's nominee is sophomore defender Jill MacInnes, who has excelled in the back row, using her quickness and passing skills for both critical digs (set three against Central Catholic comes to mind) and excellent passing to setter Brooke Bell. J-Mac has also attempted 206 serves and delivered 200 successfully, more than 97 percent.
Melrose has almost always had sophomore major contributors on its teams, such as Karen and Paula Sen in 2003, Laura Dillon in 2004, Gina Ciccone in 2005, Hannah Brickley, Laura Irwin, and Colleen Hanscom in 2007, Athena Ziavras in 2008, Jill Slabacheski and Alyssa DiRaffaele in 2009, and 'the Gang of Seven" last season. Part of having continuity is the constant infusion of young talent, and that's no accident, but a system.
