Letterman Style Top Ten Reasons to Watch Melrose Volleyball


Here's a Top 10 list of reasons to watch Melrose volleyball (MVB). For those unfamiliar with David Letterman, a brief video. It was difficult to find one suitable for all audiences. 

10. The seats are SO comfortable.

9. The pregame music appeals to the average aged fan in the Veterans Memorial Middle School Gym. 


8. You get asked at least once a month, "which one is your daughter?" Seriously, do you think I'm Strom Thurmond (go to Google)?

7. MVB remains the official volleyball team of the American Dental Association. 


6. Unlike other Melrose institutions, there's never nepotism. 


5. You actually enjoy playing with your sister. 


4. The players value tradition above all. There's a "Keeper" of the cheer... 


3. It's serious stuff. 


2. Nobody's too focused on winning. 


1. It's the only way to know what's happening. The team toils in anonymity. You can't read anything about them. 
  
Lagniappe. Brooke Bell achieved all you could as a setter, from Player of the Year to State Champion. Watch her highlights and look for these three things:
  • Two-handed push shots to the deep corner
  • "Rotten grapefruit" short serves... ever try to return one?
  • Setter dumps
