Boys Tennis Round-up
BOYS TENNIS EXTENDS STREAK TO FIVE IN A ROW
The BHS boys tennis team won two more matches this past week to extend their winning streak to five games. The Red Devils are now 5-1 and are currently tied for second place in the Middlesex League, arguably the strongest tennis conference in the entire state. The squad blanked Stoneham last Thursday, and swept Belmont 5-0 on Friday. The team remains unbeaten at Rahanis Park.
Stoneham came to town on Thursday and quickly found out why Burlington is one of the top teams in the state. Coach Rob Newton did rest some of the starters, but Burlington has so much depth, it does not create a problem. Co- Captain Raghav Tanna got things started off with a bang at the first singles position. The senior cruised 6-0, 6-1 in convincing fashion behind strong serves and big forehands.
Sophomore Christian Repunte defeated his opponent at the second singles position 6-1, 6-2. Repunte is starting to play with confidence and looks better every match, according to coach Newton. Sophomore Dean Boodakian made his varsity debut at third singles and was extremely Impressive. Boodakian has moved up the ladder for the Red Devils and on this afternoon was too much for his Spartan opponent to handle. The score was 6-0, 6-1.
Senior co-captain John Romano paired up with freshman Lawrence Yu at the first doubles spot, and the duo pummeled their opponents 6-1, 6-1. Junior Cam McSweeney and Sophomore Brian O’Connell, who have been a great team at practice this season played second doubles and rolled 6-0, 6-1. Stoneham left Rahanis Park with a 0-5 defeat.
Belmont came to town on Friday afternoon with a young, promising team along with a 5-1 overall record. The Marauders left town with their worst loss of the season, 0-5. Junior Joe Piotti continued his stellar season at the number one singles position. Piotti defeated league all-star Zac Wooster 6-3, 6-1 by using his topspin forehand along with some accurate volleys. Tanna followed suit at the number two position with an impressive 6-3, 6-1 victory over a promising freshman.
Senior Mike Calder, who is getting comfortable at the number three slot, played his best match of the season, ousting Richie Yuan 7-6, 6-1. Calder wore down his foe with relentless groundstrokes, determination, and consistenc
The doubles teams were equally as impressive. Repunte and junior Derek Skinner have been reunited by coach Newton and the two league all-stars from 2010 have not disappointed. The duo defeated a strong pair from Belmont 6-1, 6-2 in dynamic fashion using a variety of drop volleys, slices, and lobs.
Romano and senior Tanishq Bhalla have been a strong doubles pair for the Red Devils this season. On this day, the pair started slowly but the n picked it up and looked intimidating in the process. The final was 7-5, 6-1. Overall, the team had its most impressive victory in this young season.
Burlington has two vacation matches versus Woburn and Wakefield, and then after that the Red Devils have two of their biggest matches of the season back to back on Monday and Wednesday afternoon at Rahanis Park. Lexington and Winchester, two of the other top teams in the state come to visit. Both matches are at 3:30 p.m.
BURLINGTON TENNIS CONTINUES TO CRUISE
The BHS boys tennis team won both of their matches over the school vacation week. The Red Devils swept Woburn 5-0, and then blanked Wakefield 5-0. Overall, the squad now has a 7-1 record, and is still in second place in the Middlesex League.
Coach Rob Newton got to play plenty of reserves in the two vacation matches. “Our team is so strong that we can sit four or five regular starters and still be a very powerful team. “ A lot of these guys are working hard in practice and challenge matches and deserve a chance to play.”
Woburn came to Rahanis Park last Thursday and it was an extremely windy day. Senior co-captain Raghav Tanna continues to cruise this season and this day was no different. E dispatched his opponent at first singles 6-0, 6-0. Sophomore Dean Boodakian played second singles and was equally as impressive. His scorers were 6-1, 6-3. Freshman Scott Barrett stepped in and played third singles versus the Tanners. The Red Devil prevailed 6-3, 6-4.
Seniors Tyler Baczewski and Jason Tarpey teamed up at the first doubles position. The duo got off to a slow start but turned it on as the match progressed. The final was 7-5, 6-1. Freshmen Eric Johnson and Matt Martin also got off to a slow start at the second doubles position. The two then calmed down and were nearly unbeatable. The scores were 2-6, 6-2, 6-0. Overall, Woburn left town without winning a single match.
The next day, Friday, the team got on a bus and headed to Bear Hill Country
Club in Stoneham to take on the Wakefield Warriors. Coach Newton was able to put six new players in to the lineup. Tanna remained at the number one position and rolled 6-1, 6-0. The senior is now 7-1 on the season. Sophomore Brian O’Connell, who has improved tremendously this season, played second singles on this day and crushed his opponent 6-1, 6-1. Another sophomore, Brien Diffley, made his debut at the varsity level. Diffley won 6-4, 6-3 at number three singles.
Seniors James Walsh and Jimmy Silva paired up at the first doubles position. Strong first serves and powerful volleys carried the Red Devil tandem to a 6-1, 6-0 victory. Sophomore Brian Minghella and senior Danny Grassi played second doubles and recorded an official double bagel, winning 6-0, 6-0. Burlington left town with a 5-0 team victory.
The team had some big matches on Tuesday and Wednesday this past week versus rivals Lexington and Winchester. Results were not available before press time. The season is approximately half way through, and Burlington has been improving with each match. Hopefully the weather will finally turn and the team can get some nice conditions to train and play in.

The doubles teams were equally as impressive. Repunte and junior Derek Skinner have been reunited by coach Newton and the two league all-stars from 2010 have not disappointed. The duo defeated a strong pair from Belmont 6-1, 6-2 in dynamic fashion using a variety of drop volleys, slices, and lobs.
Romano and senior Tanishq Bhalla have been a strong doubles pair for the Red Devils this season. On this day, the pair started slowly but the n picked it up and looked intimidating in the process. The final was 7-5, 6-1. Overall, the team had its most impressive victory in this young season.
Burlington has two vacation matches versus Woburn and Wakefield, and then after that the Red Devils have two of their biggest matches of the season back to back on Monday and Wednesday afternoon at Rahanis Park. Lexington and Winchester, two of the other top teams in the state come to visit. Both matches are at 3:30 p.m.
BURLINGTON TENNIS CONTINUES TO CRUISE
The BHS boys tennis team won both of their matches over the school vacation week. The Red Devils swept Woburn 5-0, and then blanked Wakefield 5-0. Overall, the squad now has a 7-1 record, and is still in second place in the Middlesex League.
Coach Rob Newton got to play plenty of reserves in the two vacation matches. “Our team is so strong that we can sit four or five regular starters and still be a very powerful team. “ A lot of these guys are working hard in practice and challenge matches and deserve a chance to play.”
Woburn came to Rahanis Park last Thursday and it was an extremely windy day. Senior co-captain Raghav Tanna continues to cruise this season and this day was no different. E dispatched his opponent at first singles 6-0, 6-0. Sophomore Dean Boodakian played second singles and was equally as impressive. His scorers were 6-1, 6-3. Freshman Scott Barrett stepped in and played third singles versus the Tanners. The Red Devil prevailed 6-3, 6-4.
Seniors Tyler Baczewski and Jason Tarpey teamed up at the first doubles position. The duo got off to a slow start but turned it on as the match progressed. The final was 7-5, 6-1. Freshmen Eric Johnson and Matt Martin also got off to a slow start at the second doubles position. The two then calmed down and were nearly unbeatable. The scores were 2-6, 6-2, 6-0. Overall, Woburn left town without winning a single match.
The next day, Friday, the team got on a bus and headed to Bear Hill Country
Club in Stoneham to take on the Wakefield Warriors. Coach Newton was able to put six new players in to the lineup. Tanna remained at the number one position and rolled 6-1, 6-0. The senior is now 7-1 on the season. Sophomore Brian O’Connell, who has improved tremendously this season, played second singles on this day and crushed his opponent 6-1, 6-1. Another sophomore, Brien Diffley, made his debut at the varsity level. Diffley won 6-4, 6-3 at number three singles.
Seniors James Walsh and Jimmy Silva paired up at the first doubles position. Strong first serves and powerful volleys carried the Red Devil tandem to a 6-1, 6-0 victory. Sophomore Brian Minghella and senior Danny Grassi played second doubles and recorded an official double bagel, winning 6-0, 6-0. Burlington left town with a 5-0 team victory.
The team had some big matches on Tuesday and Wednesday this past week versus rivals Lexington and Winchester. Results were not available before press time. The season is approximately half way through, and Burlington has been improving with each match. Hopefully the weather will finally turn and the team can get some nice conditions to train and play in.

Boys Lacrosse Beats Melrsoe
After a flurry of cancellations and rainouts, the Boys Varsity lacrosse team finally got their 2011 conference season underway Tuesday night on the turf. Fresh off a victory over former prep powerhouse The Winchendon School; the Devils looked to make a statement against the Red Raiders of Melrose High. From the opening faceoff, the message was clear… This was a different Burlington Lacrosse program. Behind a stellar game in net from goalie and defensive backbone Chris Ikier, the defense held the Raiders scoreless until late in the fourth quarter. Offensively, a James Haded led attack orchestrated a varied and persistent assault that resulted in eleven goals and a seemingly insurmountable lead early in the game. Ultimately, the 11-2 final score did not quite do the debut performance justice. With a new coaching staff and a senior laden lineup, the Devils are seemingly primed to make a splash in Massachusetts lacrosse this year. Tuesday night was just the beginning.

Tournament Update by Jaime Gweshe
Boys Varsity Basketball and Hockey
Saturday was a busy night for Burlington High athletics; both the Varsity boys hockey team and basketball team had Tournament games. For the boys of the hockey team, their season ended, however for the Burlington basketball season, their season is just starting to heat up.
On the basketball court, the Burlington Red Devils pushed past Boston Latin on Saturday night with a commanding 64-54 victory as well as secured themselves a spot in the Division 2 North Semifinals.
In the first quarter, junior Greg Sheridan scored eight points and fellow guard Ryan Putney had four points, by the end of the quarter Burlington posted a 17-10 lead over Boston Latin. Burlington was able to keep control of the pace of the game and showed great defensive coverage to be up 38-33 by the halftime.
The second half saw fairly low scoring by both Boston Latin as well as Burlington. In the third quarter Putney led the team in points with 7. In the third quarter it was once again Sheridan who led offensively alongside Putney. Both Putney and Sheridan each had 21 points on the night. With Mark Melanson, Shane Farley and Christian Morneweck, as well as the rest of the Devils team playing well, Burlington was able to keep Boston Latin at bay and come out with the win. Burlington will face Brighton on Thursday night.
On the rink Burlington suffered a 5-2 loss against St. Mary’s, ending their season. Things were looking good for the Devils heading into the second period. They had physically dominated the first period and held a 1-0 lead over their rivals. A little over five minuets into the second also gave Burlington what would be it’s largest lead of the night when Joe Berardi found the back of the net to put Burlington up 2-0.
However, Burlington’s intensity came crashing down after a power-pay goal by St. Mary’s. The Spartans quickly scored two more goals within ten seconds of each other to take the lead and the momentum away from the Devils. Goals by Derek Stella and Tim Aylward in the third period put the game out of reach for Burlington, and the Spartans closed the book on Burlington’s season.
In the opening period the Devil’s were fighting to win, with an unmatched level of intensity, emotion and determination. Burlington lit the lamp first with a goal by Junior Dan McMahon. McMahon got the wrap-around goal at 3:03, backhanding the puck into the net to give Burlington a 1-0 lead.
Going into the second period Burlington got deep into the attacking zone early and keep the momentum and intensity swinging in its favor. Brian Hood was able to score through heavy traffic in front of the net to tack on a second goal.
Tables rapidly turned for the Devils when Nikko Markham scored a power-play goal six minuets into the second period. Julian Yourawski followed this goal up with another one a minuet and a half later. Ten seconds after Yourawski’s goal, Brendan Mageary put the puck in the back of the net to give the Spartans the final 3-2 lead over the Devils.
“It’s been the story of our season,” said coach Bob Conceison, “Giving up quick back-to-back goals has been an issue with this team throughout the whole season.”
In the third period, the Spartans continued to pressure Burlington’s defense; Derek Stella scored at 4:18 and then it was Tim Aylward who put the game out of hand for Burlington with his goal at 13:12 giving St. Mary’s its last goal in a decisive 5-3 victory.
It was the last game in a Burlington uniform for captains Joey Centrella, Shane Matthews, and Chris Irwin, as well as for seniors Kyle Crowley, Mike Grinnell, Chris Rolli, Chris Theriault, P.J. Vigneau, and Justin Bonia.
In all Burlington will lose nine players, including top goal scorers Chris Irwin who had 24 points and senior Kyle Crowley who had 12 goals on the season, but Burlington’s future looks bright, as they will bring back all but two of their defensemen as well as top goal scorers and playmakers Brett Rompkey, Brian Hood, Joe Berardi, RJ Caruso, and Adam Crowley. They will also bring back two solid goaltenders in Nick DeSimone and Derek DeCastro.

Boys Hockey Tournament Play
The Red Devils are on to the next one
By Jaime Gweshe
During the playoffs in order to win, a team must show a high level of intensity, determination, grit, skill, and raw natural talent in order to move forwards in the competition. The boys of the Burlington Red Devils hockey team showed just that Wednesday night in a 3-1 victory over Andover.
“We came out hard,” said Chris Irwin, “the first five or six minuets we were all over them and I think that just set the momentum for the game for us. We knew that we could play these guys and we just had to do it.”
Burlington dominated Andover early in the first period by keeping the puck in the attacking zone and successfully battling for the puck in the neutral zone. With a strong blue line, the Devil’s were firing on all cylinders. Burlington’s Brett Rompkey lit the lamp for the first goal of the game sliding the puck low stick side past Andover’s Justin Berthiaume for the lead.
Goaltender Derek DeCastro was also playing at his best. DeCastro had three huge saves for Burlington with five minuets remaining in the period. This included a rebound attempt he saved by kicking the puck towards the neutral zone with his left skate. But his best save of the night came with 10 seconds left in the opening period.
Brian Hood scored Burlington’s second goal of the night to give Burlington the 2-0 lead in the opening minuets of the second period. This was the second goal for the third line and it was the second assist of the night for sophomore Joe Berardi.
“We started our third line today and I think they played their hearts out,” said senior Kyle Crowley, “They set the tone right away and everybody followed.”
Burlington had a tough time keeping out of the penalty box in the second period, spending a total of 4:22 on the penalty kill. During their last penalty kill of the period, Andover finally capitalized on one of the man advantage. Jimmy Burns tipped in a soft shot that managed to trickle past DeCastro to give Andover what would be it’s only goal of the night.
A face-off win in Burlington’s defensive zone in the third period helped the Devils get back into the swing of things. Trevor Cimino led an up ice rush right off of the face off win. Kyle Crowley got the pass from Cimino in the attacking zone and put the puck in back of the net to give Burlington what would be the last goal of the night, securing a 3-1 victory.
“It was great vision on Cimino’s part,” said Crowley, “the average high school hockey player doesn’t make those kinds of plays, he chipped that puck past the defensemen and I was just thinking five hole all the way and I just threw the puck on net and when you throw the puck on net good things happen.”
Looking forward to Saturday’s game against St. Mary’s Burlington knows that they need to play at their best in order to get the win, something they are perfectly capable of doing with a strong offensive, defensive and goaltending core.
“We’re ready for them,” said captain Joey Centrella, “and we are going to be firing just because of last year especially. We are up to the challenge.”
For returning players it is a chance to exact some revenge on the team that kicked them out of the playoff sport last year. And the seniors are fighting to continue their high school hockey-playing career.
“I always say to the seniors, ‘how do you want to be remembered as a Burlington High hockey player?” said captain Chris Irwin after the game, “This is it, we have to play like its our last shift, every shift. If you take one shift off they could score and then your season is over. Leave everything on the ice and have no regrets, we just have to play as hard as we can.”

Boys Hockey vs. Stoneham reported by Jaime Gweshe
The Red Devils lit up the scoreboard and are now within two points of reaching the MIAA State Tournament with after Monday night’s effort against the Stoneham Spartans.
Burlington’s Kyle Crowley scored 45 seconds into the first period giving the Devils the early lead. Crowley followed up his first goal with another one fourteen minutes later to give Burlington a 2-0 lead heading into the intermission.
It was captain Chris Irwin who put the Spartans in a 3-0 deficit with his goal at 1:45 in the second period. Irwin would score his second goal of the night at 13:03. Kyle Crowley got a hat trick with his third goal of the night with less than a minuet left in the second period.
The third period was another strong fifteen minutes for the Devils. At 6:16 Irwin sent a few more hats down to the ice with his third goal of the night to put the Devils at a solid 6-0 lead. Burlington’s attempt to shut out Stoneham was stopped when Dalton Cox scored on a newly put in Nick DeSimone at 10:55. Burlington didn’t waste much time to respond to Stoneham’s attempt to inspire a tally when Joe Moran scored a minuet later. PJ Vigneau scored shortly after Moran for his second point of the night, his first coming from an assist on Moran’s goal in his previous shift. Captain Shane Matthews netted in a shot that finalized a solid 9-1 win for the Devils.

Weekly Update
Boys Hockey vs. Melrose
By: Jaime Gweshe
The Red Devils continued to play a sound defense as well as light up the scoreboard in a 5-0 shutout against the Melrose Red Raiders Wednesday night. Despite the game being rather inconsistent for the Devils, the team is now riding on a four game win streak largely due to the acquisition of key players back into the lineup that have been injured. Four healthy offensive lines as well as a defense that seems to be getting more comfortable on the blue line with each start helped Burlington come out with the win.
“Ever since we lost those two games in a row, I think we’ve come back with a new attitude,” said forward Trevor Cimino, “We came out harder, worked harder at practice and I think it paid of for us tonight.”
Trevor Cimino’s first goal of the night at 5:23 seemed to give the team a much-needed burst of energy and helped swing momentum Burlington’s favor. Shortly after Trevor’s goal the Devils got the puck into the attacking zone more and increase their net pressure.
Cimino has been on a lengthy streak of goals and assists for Burlington this season, his teammates look to his preparation for games as being key to his success, “He’s just been stepping up, especially for a junior,” said fellow eleventh grader Steve Mattos, “he’s been working hard in practice, and he does what he needs to do on and off the ice, he’s just getting it done.”
Chris Irwin further energized the team when he scored the second goal of the night giving the Devil’s a 2-0 lead. One of the most entertaining things to watch certainly is when ever a goal is scored and Chris Irwin is on the ice there is sure to be a huge grin on his face and excitement that seems to be infectious to the rest of his teammates. “I just get so excited when I score, even when I get an assisted. I just love being on the ice when a goal is scored.” Said Irwin after the game.
“Irwin being a captain and senior he’s a really great leader, he stepped up when he needed to and really got the ball rolling for everyone to start scoring.” Said Steven Mattos regarding the way Chris Irwin seemed to spark the offense.
Kyle Crowley later added to Burlington’s lead with his goal at 12:21. Crowley certainly has had Melrose’s number when it comes to putting the puck in the net. The eldest Crowley brother had goals in both the first and second period Wednesday night for the Devils; he also had two goals and an assist back in December when the Devils first played Melrose at the Flynn Rink.
The second period was once again started with the Melrose offense surging into the Devil’s defensive zone. But between diving stops by defensemen like RJ Caruso and hard hits by guys like Shane Matthews and Mike Grinnell, those mixed with the continued excellence from goalie Derek DeCastro helped keep Melrose at bay. Kyle Crowley netted in his second goal of the night at 9:32 to give Burlington the 4-0 lead. Then it was Trevor Cimino’s turn to light the lamp again for his second goal of the night less than a minuet after Crowley’s goal. One of the bigger stories of the night was another outstanding performance from Burlington’s goaltender Derek DeCastro.
With the shutout Wednesday night and in DeCastro’s last three starts in net he has let in just three goals and has made 60 saves to help Burlington win games against some very good teams in the Middlesex League as well as an out of league game against Billerica.
“The team is definitely really confident with Derek in net, he brings a lot of confidence to the team,” said junior Trevor Cimino who had two goals and two assists in the game, “He brings a spark to out team and he’s great every game.”
The players that show up on the score sheet in tonight’s games weren’t the only ones making a huge difference in the win against Melrose. Players such as Brendan Slowe and Mike Grinnell add to Burlington’s depth and talent on the blue line, providing even more physicality to the team as well as creating scoring opportunities and preventing turnovers in the neutral zone.
Burlington will look to their next game at home against Reading Saturday night at the Burlington Ice Palace.

Great Win for Boys Hockey vs. Winchester
The following was written by our own sophomore sports writer, Jaime Gweshe.
The Red Devils displayed their ability to be a dominant powerhouse on both ends of the ice in a 7-1 win against the Winchester Sachems Monday night at the Burlington Ice Palace. Captain Chris Irwin and junior Dan McMahon led the Burlington offensive rush with two goals and an assist each.
In the first period, Burlington set the momentum for the game right from the opening face off. They played a more energized and gritty style of hockey and therefore were able to stop a surging Winchester offense, as well as create scoring opportunities in the attacking zone. Although the first period remained scoreless, it was a hard fought battle for the Devils, especially at the blue line. All five of the Burlington defensemen weren’t afraid to throw their bodies around to create big hits and block shots.
“We talk about the little things that show your intensity and that’s one of the things,” said Coach Conceison. “We hadn’t been a gritty enough team in some of our earlier games but we’re starting to find that little bit of toughness that we need as a team.”
Burlington’s defensive and offensive efforts were rewarded in the second period after allowing Winchester’s Dan Donovan to score the first goal of the game at 2:50. Burlington didn’t waste any time tying the game up, Chris Irwin answered Winchester’s goal less than 20 seconds later with his first of the night. Burlington continued to dominate in the second period with a goal by Trevor Cimino at 5:45 that gave Burlington the lead. Irwin netted in his second goal of the night at 14:01 to put the Devils up 3-1. And it was Joe Berardi who scored with 56 second left in the second period to send the Devils into intermission with a 4-1 lead over the Sachems.
The third period was the last in an unyielding effort by the Devils. Chris Irwin brought the puck up ice and made the pass to Dan McMahon who shot the one-timer past two Winchester defensemen and beat Jed Robinson stick side to add onto Burlington’s lead. This resulted in a goaltending change for the Sachems, who put in Peter Olson, the switch wasn’t enough to slow down Burlington. Kyle Crowley, who was back into the lineup after missing two games, scored 48 second after McMahon. Crowley was able to beat an out of position Olson, scoring on the rebound. Then with less than 30 seconds left in the game it was Dan McMahon who topped off his stellar game with a goal at 14:28 finalizing the score 7-1 in favor of the Devils.
“[Our defense] knew that they had to be physical, but in a smart way. They knew that they had to be more disciplined in all aspects of their game and that’s what they did,” said Chris Irwin after the game. “They might be young, but they all play like senior defensemen.”
At the start of the season the Burlington defense was plagued with bouts of inconsistency, but over the past few games they seem to have found their stride, and against Winchester they seemed to be atop their game. It was a very physical game from start to finish, and the blue liners were very successful taking care of loose pucks in the corners as well as blocking shots near the crease and preventing turnovers in the neutral zone. Adam Crowley was just one of the Burlington defenseman that had an outstanding night. Crowley had 3 blocked shots as well as three huge hits in one shift alone.
“Well, we knew coming in they were a team with fast forwards and we needed to play physical with them in our zone,” said defenseman Steve Mattos. “We knew that they were a hard working team and it was going to be a battle, Winchester is a good team we just had their number tonight.”
Another reason for Burlington’s success is the continued confident play of goalie Derek DeCastro who stopped all but one of the 27 shots he faced. DeCastro seems to be adjusting quite well to the Varsity level of play, riding on a three game win streak.
“Derek has been standing on his head,” praised Mattos after the win. “It’s always a good feeling knowing that you have a good goalie behind you because that’s where the game all starts from, the goalie.”
There might have also been a little extra drive for some of the seniors on the team to get this win down in the books. “For Joe, Shane and I, we never beat Winchester during our varsity hockey career in the regular season, we wanted this game more than anything. We knew we couldn’t let their first line gain momentum,” said Irwin, “We just took advantage of our opportunities.”
Burlington looks to continue it’s winning ways against Melrose on Wednesday night.

Girls Basketball Update - Monday January 24, 2011
Injuries forced two senior starters out Monday night and Burlington looked to have their hands full with visiting Arlington. The Lady Devils were eager for revenge after a listless 20 point loss at Arlington in December. This night would be a different story for Burlington, however, as the team rallied from a 7-point deficient at the end of the third quarter for an exciting 40-34 victory.
Arlington took a one-point lead after the first quarter, but the score was deadlocked at 18 at the half. Burlington had six players score during those first two quarters as Kaitlyn Morneweck and Sarah Hood led the team into the locker room with 4 points each. Erin Clark and Katie Han added 3 apiece. Stacy Howe gave her team quality minutes, playing solid defensive and creating offensive opportunities for her teammates. Defensively, Clark held Arlington’s sharpshooter, Colleen Kane, to 5 points.
Scoring would become more difficult in the third quarter as the Lady Devils couldn’t find the bottom of the net. Aggressive offensive play kept them in the game as Burlington shot 5 for 6 from the free throw line. Without a basket, however, Arlington was able to build a 7 point lead fueled by Burlington miscues at the end of the quarter.
The Lady Devils came out with something to prove in the fourth as they tightened their defense and exploded for one of their best offensive quarters of the season. Arlington would only manage 4 points the rest of the way, including a hail-Mary, 3-point bank-shot with the shot clock winding down. Clark, Han, Christina Raso, and Jodi Han were all involved on key defensive plays, as the Burlington guards held the Arlington backcourt in check.
The Lady Devils kept their possessions alive by crashing the offensive glass. Kayla Coluci was unstoppable during this stretch, grabbing offensive rebounds and scoring 8 points in the rally. With about two minutes left Burlington was down by two, but once they took the lead Arlington was forced to foul. Katie Han added 5 points this quarter, including two key free throws at the end of the game. She ended the contest 6 for 8 from the charity stripe and Burlington’s lead scorer with 11 points. Her sister, Jodi, grabbed 4 rebounds at the guard spot, including one within the final minute that all but dashed Arlington’s hopes for a dramatic ending. Coluci added 10 points and 11 boards, as Morneweck totaled 8 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks. Raso added 4 assists, Hood grabbed 5 rebounds and dished 3 assists, while Clark, Han and Rachel Joyce each had 2 steals. Kelsey Carnell filled her stat sheet with only positives as the forward grabbed 2 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 blocks and gave an assist. The Lady Devils shot 70% from the free throw line and had their third highest offensive output of the season. Seven Burlington players scored in all, while keeping each Arlington player in single digits offensively.

Without a basket, however, Arlington was able to build a 7 point lead fueled by Burlington miscues at the end of the quarter.
The Lady Devils came out with something to prove in the fourth as they tightened their defense and exploded for one of their best offensive quarters of the season. Arlington would only manage 4 points the rest of the way, including a hail-Mary, 3-point bank-shot with the shot clock winding down. Clark, Han, Christina Raso, and Jodi Han were all involved on key defensive plays, as the Burlington guards held the Arlington backcourt in check.
The Lady Devils kept their possessions alive by crashing the offensive glass. Kayla Coluci was unstoppable during this stretch, grabbing offensive rebounds and scoring 8 points in the rally. With about two minutes left Burlington was down by two, but once they took the lead Arlington was forced to foul. Katie Han added 5 points this quarter, including two key free throws at the end of the game. She ended the contest 6 for 8 from the charity stripe and Burlington’s lead scorer with 11 points. Her sister, Jodi, grabbed 4 rebounds at the guard spot, including one within the final minute that all but dashed Arlington’s hopes for a dramatic ending. Coluci added 10 points and 11 boards, as Morneweck totaled 8 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks. Raso added 4 assists, Hood grabbed 5 rebounds and dished 3 assists, while Clark, Han and Rachel Joyce each had 2 steals. Kelsey Carnell filled her stat sheet with only positives as the forward grabbed 2 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 blocks and gave an assist. The Lady Devils shot 70% from the free throw line and had their third highest offensive output of the season. Seven Burlington players scored in all, while keeping each Arlington player in single digits offensively.

Sports Update
Monday night senior guard Zach Hurynowicz had an historical night for Burlington Basketball. Zach became the first male basketball player in over 30 years to score 1000 points in his High School Career.
The 3 point shot that put him at 1000 points also pushed our team to a stronger lead against the league power house Lexington High School. We had not beaten Lexington High School in over 12 years. Zach’s overall total of 32 points last night led Burlington to a 66/61 victory against Lexington.
Zach is only one of 3 players that I know of who has scored over 1000 points in his HS career at Burlington. This is a phenomenal feat that Zach has accomplished in a short 4 years.

On Friday the Girl’s Gymnastics team beat Reading High School 133.4 to 129.85. The girl’s record is now 1-1 in the Middlesex League. Some highlights were Alyssa Mitchell’s 9.15 beam performance and Haley Vercollone’s 9.05 floor performance
