September 9, 2024

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL WIN BACK TO BACK MATCHES
Lady Devils Volleyball have started their season on a roll after wins against Reading Memorial, 3-0, and Lexington, 3-2. The first loss of the season came in game three of the regular season against Newton South, 0-3 in the sets. Burlington will have a chance to bounce back as they will have two more matches this week against Arlington and Concord-Carlisle.

RED DEVIL FOOTBALL ON ROAD FOR SEASON OPENER
Red Devil Football will be starting their season down in Westborough on Sept. 13. It’s a big year for the team: Last year, they made it to the Elite Eight round of the MIAA D4 playoffs, cut short at the goal line by Tewksbury. But with 11 seniors graduating in the 2023-2024 season, it’s a changed group that will need to find its footing as a team.

FIELD HOCKEY LOOKING FOR FIRST WIN AFTER FALLING TO 0-2
Girls Field Hockey are not only searching for their first victory this season, but also their first offensive goal. The team was shut out 0-6 against the Reading Rockets on Sept. 4, then lost in a heartbreaker of 0-1 against Lexington on Sept. 6.

Still, head coach AnnMarie McNeill is proud of how the girls played against Lexington. “I think we really turned it up a notch from the first game against Reading,” she said. “The energy was there from the beginning and started the game strong, came close but couldn’t get the job done, but we are onto the next one.”
