The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. Belmont will square off against Melrose at 7:00 PM on Friday. The MaxPreps state rankings favor Belmont, but they won't be able to rely on this superior ranking alone to carry them to victory.
Belmont have had to suffer through a three-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They made easy work of Burlington last week and carried off a 28-7 win. That 21-point margin sets a new personal best for Belmont on the season.
Meanwhile, after having lost a blowout in their game two weeks ago against Gloucester, Melrose were happy to find some success last Friday. Melrose were able to grind out a solid victory over North Reading, winning 28-15.
Their wins bumped Belmont to 4-5 and Melrose to 5-4. We'll see which team can carry over their success and which team inevitably falls when Belmont and Melrose clash.
