Perspective - Venn Diagram of Melrose Triple Sectional Finalists and MAVCA All-State Recipients

Melrose has produced a host of sectional finalists and champions and eighteen Massachusetts Volleyball Coaches Association All-State selectees. 

ACHIEVEMENT = PERFORMANCE x TIME

Who dropped into both categories? Thanks to Coach Scott Celli for assistance. Players can't arrive on either list without lots of help from both coaches and teammates. Sadie is the first to make both lists since Jill MacInnes in 2013. 

It's a small list, going from recent to past:

Sadie Jaggers

Jill MacInnes

Brooke Bell 

Sarah McGowan 

Colleen Hanscom

Hannah Brickley

Karen Sen

Paula Sen 

This isn't a claim that these are the best MVB players of all-time, just a list that achieved individual recognition while winning big over three seasons. 

There's another name that goes on both lists but for Triple Sectional Finalists and MAVCA Hall of Fame status - Coach Scott Celli.
