Every generation has its artists, some use a guitar, a block of wood or stone, watercolors or oil, or even a computer.
Today, the Melrose Lady Raiders use the 18 by 9 meter hardwood canvas and 10 ounce volleyball as paintbrush to write their narrative. For some, volleyball is their 'second' sport passion; others were born to play, groomed for their role, their destiny since they first picked up a ball in elementary school. They perfected their craft in gyms near and far, with stops in the weight room and the training room.
No doubt that today's match will bring tears of joy or defeat, as every championship validates the winners and leaves an emptiness for a time in the vanquished.
Two hundred seventy-two teams began the season with aspirations of playing today, including seventy-five in Division 2. Six remain. Melrose has defeated three of the top ten teams in Massachusetts and two of the top five in Division 1.
I believe. Why not!
