After the 1/4-final vball playoff match last night, Gary teaches a 7th grader to sky and spike. Now if he can just teach her to be as tall as him! Oh, yeah… btw – Burke won in 3 straight.

It was Senior Night for the Girls Volleyball team Tuesday night. Thinking afterward about the match (they won) and ceremony (incredible) triggered an image of a physics experiment where light passes through a prism. (Bear with me – Ms. Ramaz recently gave me The Fear of Physics, which has taken over my few remaining neurons). [...]

Fasten your seat belts, this week we’re entering the soccer version of March Madness, with a Fall Frenzy of soccer playoffs. Yesterday kicked it off with Middle School Girls and Boys matches. The Varsity teams take to the playoff pitch later this week. Last night the MS Boys played valiantly in a hard-fought 3-1 loss [...]
Burke MS Boys Soccer, 2010
Posted in Sports on October 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The Burke MS Boys Soccer team is an awesome group of young warriors, with boys from the 6th, 8th, and especially 7th grades. They’ve had a great season—mixed wins and losses, but they are playing terrific soccer against some pretty stiff competition. As the season has built toward this week’s ¼ and semi-finals, the team [...]

“For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I’d gone this far, I might as well just [...]

What could be better than a volleyball match? How about two! Burke Girls VBall played a Varsity and JV doubleheader yesterday at Field. They made the day twice as nice with two solid victories. The Varsity’s young squad played tough, with co-captain Erica (’11) unable to play with an injury. With some tasty serving from [...]
X-Country is Cool

With a Grand Ol’ Opry bow to Barbara Mandrell and George Jones: Burke was cross-country when cross-country wasn’t cool. Back where and when I come from, running cross-country on un-tended tracks up and down hills in the woods in the rain was about as difficult and thankless a sport as you could find. Heck, [...]
