Senior Night Eve
Senior Night affords fans, the coaching staff, and teammates an opportunity to recognize the graduating class for their contributions to the success of Melrose basketball. What the young ladies accomplish occurs through many hours of hard work not only during the season, but especially in the offseason, where physical training, sport-specific training, and game development allow the team and the players to maximize their chance to succeed.
At the youth level, we work to develop players who understand the core principles of the game, to develop an independent framework from which they can respond both automatically and creatively to take ownership of what happens in every situation on the court. That development has translated into consistent success. For many players, basketball has continued to play a significant role in their postgraduate experiences, both as players and coaches.
Senior Night also affords the Senior parents to receive credit for the sacrifices that they have made to help their children develop as scholar athletes. Many of the Melrose players have been high achievers off the court as well, and their parents deserve equal recognition.
The festivities also include recognition of the visiting seniors, who likewise have made an enduring commitment to their school and their sport.
Congratulations again to the seniors for their achievements. Please come to support the players as we wrap up the regular season at 5:30 Tuesday at the Middle School Gym against Lexington.
