Burlington boys basketball wins district; girls draw tough playoff bracket
Summary
Superintendent Gerrett Spears said Burlington's boys basketball team won their district (first time since 2020) and the district-hosting helped; he said the girls faced a difficult playoff draw despite beating several district-winning teams.
Superintendent Gerrett Spears told the board the boys basketball team won districts last week — the program's first district title since 2020 — and that hosting the district tournament provided a home-court advantage that helped the team.
Spears also said the girls team drew a difficult playoff bracket despite having beaten five teams that went on to win their districts. "As a coach, that's discouraging. I don't want the girls to think their hard work doesn't pay off," he said, while praising community support for hosting (including gate, concessions and hospitality volunteers).
