While election news has dominated the past week, Burlington has again quietly established itself as the epicenter of the state’s high school volleyball scene.
For the third-straight year both Burlington High School and Catholic Central High School will send their girls volleyball teams to the state tournament.
And because of restrictions in place due to coronavirus, the 2020 tournament will look very different than the previous competitions, including 2018 when both local schools claimed championships in their respective divisions.
The continued success of the local volleyball teams – and all the local election news – are among the top stories in this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press. The newspaper will be available at local retail outlets on Thursday. Subscribers will receive their copies with Thursday’s mail.
