The Girls' Swim and Dive team had their first meet yesterday afternoon as they hosted Reading at the Shawsheen Tech Pool. Reading, always a top contender in both the league and state, defeated Burlington 94 to 74. The Lady Devils swam well with many relays and individuals improving times from last season and coming close to qualifying for both sectionals and states. It looks like it will be a great season for the team!

Football vs. Billerica

The Burlington vs Billerica game was a typical battle for both of these teams. With the much larger school Billerica ranked 7th in the state being a heavy favorite Burlington still managed to almost pull out a victory but the last drive stalled and the game ended Billerica 35-Burlington 27. The game started with plenty of fireworks as the first play of the season saw Burlington's Sophomore Tailback Marcus O'daih go 74 yards for a touchdown and had Burlington out to a quick lead. The Gatorade player of the year last year Quarterback Nick Laspada from Billerica was the difference all night as he managed to make big play after big play and threw 3 touchdowns and ran for another. Nick Ciardi From Burlington had a fine night with 4 catches and an interception as Burlington's Quarterback Gregg Sheridan hung tough running and throwing well all night for us. Kyle Shields added 2 touchdowns while Marcus O'daih showed huge signs of a very bright future with 11 carries for 157 yards and a touchdown for Burlington. Jonathan Dube, Dalton Barrucci and Joe Hoffman played well on the line for Burlington's defense as We came up just short in this one. All in all it was a great effort by the huge underdog Burlington as we look to get our first win this week vs Arlington another very large Division 1 School.

Girls Soccer Update - First Three Games

We beat Watertown 6-1 led by Jodi Han who had a hat trick. We also had goals by Miceala Christy, Ashley Steadman, and Megan Packard. We played a good game to start the season.




Melrose was a zero zero tie. We had several scoring chances including a penalty kick in the first half. Their goalie played outstanding and did a great job of not letting any goals in. Our goalie and defense led by Kierstin Merlino, Abbey Joyce, Renee Iodice, and Megan Packard did a great job earning our first shut out of the season.



The third game was reading. We tied one to one. We gave up a goal in the first half on a break away. We controled most of the play and in the second half jodi han found the back of the net on a great shot on the left side of the 18. We are now 1-0-2.



Off to a good start.

Peter DeBarros had a strong game in net and gets credit for the shutout.
