The team traveled to Westford's Stony Brook School for a River Valley 'A' tilt and lost an exciting game 29-25.
Before the game, the coaches reviewed the important concepts of "jumping" into the passing lanes to prevent the 'give and go' as well as another emphasis on "help" defense.
Melrose got off to a slow start, trailing 8-0 early and 14-9 at halftime.
The second half saw another slow start, with the team falling behind 21-9, before an exciting comeback knotted the score at 23 late. With the score tied at 25 in the final minute, Westford got a steal and a layup, followed by a late hoop to seal the win.
The coaches continue to note individual and team progress, with better ball movement and willingness to take the ball to the hoop.
Sunday's activities were cancelled because of inclement weather.
The coaches will devote the entire practice Monday to specialty offensive work.
