Athletic Fees Bump Funds Absorbing New Varsity Level Teams

The first increase in Melrose High School athletic fees in at least five years will support five club teams moving to the varsity level and funded through the district's budget.

The success of five Melrose High School club teams over the past five years has led administrators to recommend moving those teams to the varsity level, necessitating an increase in athletic fees next year to fund those teams. Fees will increase by $25 per sport and the family cap will increase by $100, in the memo approved by School Committee on Tuesday night. The committee also approved two other fee increases. The Melrose Veterans Memorial Middle School summer enrichment program will increase from $100 to $120 per week, as the program lost money last year and the increase will allow the program to break even. Incoming 6th graders will also now be allowed to enroll in that program. Also, Education Stations field trip fees will increase …

After dropping a grand total of six sets during 20 regular season games, the fashion in which the Melrose High volleyball team won its third-consecutive MIAA Division 2 North Sectional Tournament should come as little surprise. The Lady Raiders dominated the field and cruised into the State Tournament unblemished, thanks to three straight 3-0 victories. Melrose downed Burlington in straight sets on Nov. 7, opening the playoffs the same way it ended the regular season—with a 3-0 win. The Lady Raiders won 25-23, …

The Red Raiders erupted for 21 second quarter points and cruised to victory behind a pair of rushing touchdowns from Bryan Reale. The junior quarterback broke a scoreless tie…

Email editor Daniel DeMaina at danield@patch.com to get your team's own blog on Melrose Patch. Any hopes of an unbeaten season being harbored by the Melrose High football team were dashed last week, as a late comeback by the Burlington Red Devils prevented the Red Raiders from capturing a road win in their Middlesex League Small opener. Burlington pulled out a 21-20 comeback victory after a pair of big plays in the final frame proved the undoing of Melrose (5-1, 0-1 ML Small) on Oct. 14. An 82-yard punt return by Burlington’s Anthony Cruz and a 40-yard touchdown run from Kyle Shields gave the Red Devils …
