Previewing Melrose at Reading (Monday 10/26/26 at 6:15)

All opinions expressed in the blog are solely my own. The blog is not an official publication of any City of Melrose organization. Viewer caution for nature videos. 

Age confers few advantages. Aches compound. Memory fades. "Epic confrontations" leave scars.

"Birds are not aggressive creatures."

Birds are descendants of dinosaurs. In modern scientific terminology, birds are not merely related to dinosaurs; they are dinosaurs, belonging to the theropod class known as Avialae.

Predatory birds like eagles, hawks, and ground hunters like the secretary bird use power and precision.

 

Nature says, "It takes what it takes." Birds use different hunting strategies. Larger prey can be beaten. 


Melrose travels to Reading as the underdog. 


Melrose will have to manage "first contact," force Reading "out of system" and limit runs...the same tasks that have allowed MVB to win thirteen of their past fourteen games. 

Remember who you are and who you have been. Volleyball rewards consistency and aggression. Birds are dinosaurs. Play like them and their fictional representations.
