THE MELROSE High boy’s basketball team is facing a 0-3 deficit after three losses to open the season. Two of them were very close against tough teams like Belmont (49-45) and Reading (51-47). Melrose has a chance to get in the win column when they compete on Dec. 28 and Dec 29 at the DeSimone Holiday Tournament at Somerville High. (Dan Murphy photo murphymediagroup.org)
