“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” - from Coraline, by Neil Gaiman
Twenty-three years ago, Melrose headed to the postseason. No volleyball tradition, no banners, no glorious predictions.
They reached the Sectional Finals where they faced Arlington Catholic, the same team that eliminated them the previous year.
AC boasted size (a pair of 6'2" middles) and a 22-0 record, having not lost a set all year.
Melrose showed up and left with a sweep. Dragons can be beaten.
