Yankee you're right on with this one...I hope one of the local teams get in that big tourney at the end of the year that Findlay won last year with all the tops teams...

[yankees8589]

Terop, Melrose is team with enough MAJOR BIG TIME TALENT AND DEPTH that could give any top 10 team in the country problems. I believe they are still underrated nationally.Just my opinion.

I don't mean any harm when i post this! Teams from around here think they actually play with the talent these teams put on the floor! Those numbers are amazing! Should i say mind boggling!!

[JodyJoe]

Amen. I believe Melrose will not get the respect they deserve nationally unless they don't lose another game which is highly unfair! I believe Ridgeway has a better chance to at least get to the playoffs undefeated(I do believe Southwind will beat them at home though and I expect you all there! ). White Station is playing well now which will make Melrose going undefeated down the rest of their schedule a daunting task. If they're not invited to the ESPN tournament this year then they should next year! They'll have enough fire power to replace Hollimon and Rucker especially if Jones is allowed one more year. A poster from DC said Memphis didn't have the best Bball in the Nation, I don't know what city has better! I'm pretty sure Memphis, Atlanta, New York, and Houston are the only cities that have multiple teams ranked. Well Memphis owned Atlanta, Ridgeway and Melrose are both ranked higher than Rice from New York, and Memphis has more teams ranked from the city than Houston does! This is an outstanding year of Bball for the city.

[AAUFAN]

What will be a good Melrose game to come to that will test them? It will be a 1:45 min drive so i want it to be worth while.

AAUFAN looks like next week is the test week for Melrose. They Play at home Tuesday Night vs White Station and Friday night they go to Central. U cant get any better than that. Look on their schedule for the rest of the games. Fair Warning. Get to these games early. Before the Girls game start. U dont want to drive that far to have the fire marshall standing at the door saying sorry. Melrose gym is huge and parking lot big, But they cannot handle the crowd for this game nor Central on friday night. Next week will decide a lot in 16 - AAA. Here is their site http://www.melrosehoops.com/

[knoxbball]

To AAUFAN and others. I just saw on the Melrose site that they are streaming the Game they played against Liberty in the Penny Hardaway Classic. Good Game to watch. Its on the Melrose TV link. http://www.melrosehoops.com/
