Mazulla has balls, but a line up change that drastic shows desperation to your team….This guy actually went G-league for game 7.

The #1 most controllable skill! Shooters are 100% made. Come down any day Mon-Thurs or all of them & let me help your son/daughter w/the tools become a better shooter! Form, footwork, game like reps, timed/tracked, decision making. Beautiful new gym & spots capped, so act fast.

Alert! Due to MIAA capacity regulations, tomorrow’s game 3/6 vs Masco will be held at Essex North Shore in Danvers at 5:30. Great facility! Plenty of room for all of our Devil fans. Get your tickets ahead of time and let’s make that place just like Vanella!! @BHSRedDevils

If anyone were to ask what is Burlington Basketball? This is the clip we’d send. Both ends! From Charlie walling up, to Cole’s physical box out, then the ball just going where it should, fast! Beautiful! All with great energy from home crowd. Let’s bring it on the road!

3 -Peat! Special group right here! Hard-working, dependable, coachable, great in the classroom, and competitive! Lucky to be able to coach such great kids.
Win our 9th straight to move to 12-2 (11-1ml) & clinch 3rd straight ML Freedom League title. Led by M. Gray w/21, Shannon w/18, Ssekandi w/17, & Poehler w/14. Special kids, who have allowed us to coach them hard from Day 1! @BHSRedDevils @GlobeSchools @dtcsports @BosHeraldSports

“Dad, can you move the cars so we can continue our streak?”
Me- “It’s another level of cold/windy, just do ball handling inside.”
Them- “No! doesn’t count!”
Mia now over 500 straight days and Ty passed 100! Both seeing the benefits.
Love seeing the addicted to the game!

This is different than game 1. Those were forced, settles. These are wide open, A looks. Just missing.

Such a special group! The growth each of these kids showed in a years time was unreal. All the complaining about “kids these days” “this generation” is unfounded. These guys let me push and coach them hard everyday and it’s an absolute pleasure walking in that gym everyday.

24-25 ML Freedom League Champions. BACK TO BACK! Easily the most satisfying & one we’re most proud of. Returned 1 starter! These guys refused to believe that it was a “down” year & it drove them. The individual growth of an entire group can do amazing things! Thank you!
