Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Sunday, March 8.

What a thrilling weekend for local sports fans. The Vermont Catamounts mens basketball team punched their ticket to the America East semifinals last night at Patrick Gymnasium, dominating Bryant 77 to 57 in a playoff quarterfinal that had the crowd of nearly two thousand roaring. TJ Hurley erupted for 29 points, with 24 coming after halftime, fueling a decisive 24 to 8 run down the stretch that sealed the win and keeps our Catamounts dreams alive for Tuesday nights matchup. Over on the ice, the mens hockey squad wrapped the regular season on a high note with a gritty 5 to 3 victory over number 18 Maine right here in Burlington, powered by Colin Kessler and Cedrick Guindons three points each. These wins mean more packed arenas and hometown pride as our teams gear up for postseason pushes, reminding us why Burlington bleeds green and gold.

Shifting to todays lineup, mark your calendars for some cultural gems. Head to The Pines Senior Community Center in South Burlington at 2 pm for Irish Popular Music Through Modern History, where author Liam McKone joins Celtic duo RambleTree for two hours of traditional and contemporary tunes tracing Irelands vibrant story perfect for history buffs or anyone craving a melodic escape on this early spring Sunday. Music lovers, catch Nep at Higher Grounds Showcase Lounge tonight at 7:30 pm, with tickets still available starting around 39 bucks for an intimate set thats buzzing with energy. And for a spiritual start, the First Unitarian Universalist Society hosts Practicing Together at 10 am, featuring guest minister Reverend Heather Janules and worship associate Geoff Duke, fostering community in these connected times.

Meanwhile, the Vermont National Guard marked a big leadership shift yesterday with a change of command ceremony, as Major General Gregory Knight passed the adjutant general role after seven dedicated years to a new leader ready to guide our states defenders forward. This transition strengthens our local readiness, ensuring smooth support for Vermonters in uniform and beyond.
