Following the graduation of a stellar 2022 class that included Peninsula Athletic League South Division Co-MVP’s Sean Richardson and Will Uhrich, the boys’ varsity basketball team will face a difficult challenge if they want to defend their back-to-back Division III Central Coast Section (CCS) titles.
With the graduation of nine members, including their entire starting five, the Panthers will lean heavily on seniors with varsity-level experience. Guards Zaden Martin and MJ Dowd, who both received minutes as juniors on a senior-centric team last year, will need to be impact players for Burlingame to remain at the top of the league.
Senior center Kyle Haslam, who battled injuries throughout his junior season, will be a centerpiece of the Panthers offense this year. Standing at 6-feet-6, Haslam will give Burlingame — traditionally known for its small ball lineups — a physical presence in the paint.
The team will also rely on juniors Tyler Lachance and Zach Shapiro to contribute, as well as strengthen Burlingame’s roster. Despite many new faces, the Panthers have high expectations for the season, and the end goal is a return to their CCS championship form.
