"It's a Marathon Not a Sprint"

"It's not whom you play but how you play." 

The postseason is not a sprint. It's a long race where consistency, discipline, and staying power pay off.

Volleyball ebbs and flows with shifting momentum. Games won't continuously go your way.

Keep going. The favorite gets overtaken when the competition plays harder for longer.

One of the greatest examples occurred in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics where Native American and Marine Billy Mills came from behind to upset the favorites.  

Melrose notes: Polls become meaningless once the playoffs start. The final regular season MassHSVB.com poll is out. "Content is king." 

Issues? There are always issues. There's no respect for the Hockomock League, especially after Dartmouth shut out Barnstable. The Cape Ann League powers show up in the D3/D4/D5 smaller school poll.
