Rice Shocks Burlington to Win Vermont State Title

Posted Friday, February 27th, 2009

The rivalry between Rice Memorial High School and Burlington High School has deep routs, that extend back much farther than the individual players who took to the court at UVM’s Patrick Gymnasium on Friday night.  This was the third consecutive year that the two clubs had met in the division I state final, with Rice claiming victory two years ago and Burlington getting retribution last year.  Nevertheless, Burlington came into Friday night’s division I state championship game as the heavy… READ MORE >

DeSantis Earns Scholarship

Posted Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Greg DeSantis isn’t the same player he was a few years ago…and he would be the first one to admit that.  In the spring of 2006, DeSantis was someone struggling to find his identity on the basketball court.  Although he already possessed a well developed skill set, he seemed to always be looking over his shoulder, leery that a mistake could bring a quick substitution from the bench.  But that summer things began to change.  He rededicated himself to taking… READ MORE >
