Why this matters

This is an early scrimmage for both programs — both teams are listed 0-0 — and there’s no prior meeting on the public record, so coaches will be looking for lineups and rotations to carry into the regular season. Melrose returns to action later next week (Reading Memorial at Melrose, Dec. 12) and Danvers hosts Somerville on Dec. 9; those next-game links are available on each team’s SBLive page for fans tracking schedules.
