Drowned in the River Valley

Melrose lost 37-28 in a midweek tilt with Andover. The Warriors got off to a quick 8-0 lead and led 21-8 at the break.

Melrose rallied behind better defense and more intensity, closing to within three on multiple occasions before Andover assumed control in the final minutes.

What went right?
  • The rebounding on the offensive boards came alive at times.
  • The kids didn't quit when facing adversity.
  • The defensive switching improved.
  • Overall the intensity ramped up.
  • Several individuals showed the capacity for on-the-ball defense, a must to succeed in the Melrose system.
Next up, Westford. As coach Belichick would say, we have to coach better.
