Lady Raider Notes: Melrose had their annual Alumnae Night as a number of former Lady Raiders, recent and more remote, were able to attend. Each received a rose and a hug from a current player. After the game, the Booster Club sponsored refreshments in the cafeteria. Alumnae Night has become a fan favorite as the community celebrates the contribution of alumnae through the years.
Next week Melrose will travel to Peabody for the Tanner Christmas tournament.
