Story Time

The names are omitted to protect the sources. 

Melrose shut them out early in the season. The opposing coach told a Melrose player, "we should have beaten you today." That didn't sit well with the team. In the rematch at Melrose, Melrose won the first set 25-3. The Melrose player walked by the coach and asked, "is that good enough for you?" If you talk trash, prepare to back it up. 

Melrose went on the road for a tough sectional match. A player went into the ladies room before the game to wash her hands. One opposition girl told her teammate, "Melrose looks scared. This should be an easy game." Not so much. Melrose delivered a 3-0 whitewashing. 


The visitors came to Melrose without an abundance of confidence. A player went up to a Melrose girl saying, "we heard Melrose had players who were on the All-Camp team at BC. We're probably gonna get crushed today." The Melrose player said, "if I see them, I'll let them know." As Henry Ford said, "whether you believe you can or you can't, you're right."
