MELROSE—With the dog days of summer behind us, fall sports are fast approaching and that means the return of Melrose High varsity games, which kick off next week.
Falls proves to be the school’s most winningest of sport seasons, and last year was no exception, so there is a good chance Melrose fans will see some hardware earned over the fall months.
