Predictions

Melrose hosts Somerset Berkley tonight at 5:00 P.M. 

Little has more power than self-belief. "You can only be as good as you think you are."

Learn about cognitive biases. Endowment bias is 'overvaluing' what is ours. Red Sox fans think the team is better than it is. Perhaps the Ken-L-Ration ad said it best. 


A volleyball site operates a "playoff" prediction site. How did Melrose fare on predictions from around the state? 

First, there aren't many "crowdsourcing" predictions, only 12. 

Win one round 12/12
Win two rounds 5/12
Win three rounds 1/12
Win four rounds 1/12
Win state championship 0/12

B positive? Belmont did the ML12 proud with a 3-1 victory of number eight-seeded Bishop Feehan. Feehan had wins over Andover, King Philip, Canton, and Barnstable so this was no minor upset.
