Scrimmage Home Today at 5 P.M.

"Iron sharpens iron." Melrose hosts Ipswich, a three-time defending state champion tonight at 5 PM at the Middle School. Last season the Tigers went 23-0 and were undefeated in the Cape Ann League. 

Ipswich has a roster scattered among all four classes as they produce sustainable competitive advantage. 


They return a pair of hitters with over 200 kills and three of their top four attackers. 


They also return three of their top defenders. 

While nobody should expect either team to be in mid-season form, MVB should expect an ultra-competitive match as both teams look to prepare for the regular season. 

Scrimmages offer chances to learn about strengths, areas for improvement, lineups, and how players respond under game conditions. Nobody should overreact to the small sample size of a single scrimmage. 

When Israeli pilots were studied, after extreme positive results, the subsequent flight tended to be 'mean-reverting'. 

Lagniappe. Multiplayer warmup.
