Road Test

Borrow from other sports. Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla was interviewed in The Boston Globe. "It’s the character of the guys,” he said. “They like to compete. They like to play. I still think we have a lot to get better at. The guys bring it every day. They want to get better. They want to play hard. That doesn’t mean that we won’t have stretches of the season where we’re (not) perfect but there’s been some moments of greatness. There’s been some moments of things we’ve done really well and we came in with the right mind-set and that’s important.”

Eighty percent of the regular season is done. Half of the remaining games are against undefeated teams, Duxbury and Newton North. Opportunity to show up and show out. 

Excellent teams welcome challenges to plant their flag on hostile territory while having fun. 

Be excited. Birds of a feather? Why not?

Melrose Notes. The latest Globe poll is out. Unsure why Westborough doesn't show up. Longmeadow is easier to understand, far more distant. 

ML Roundup - Winchester beats Lexington in their rematch 3-2. Burlington tops Wakefield 3-1, and Belmont tops Woburn 3-1.
