Unbelievably proud of Mike Demartinis on being named the new Head Varsity Basketball coach at Burlington HS. 1,000 point scorer, terrific college player and most importantly a really great person. This is your time Mike‼️

[BurlingtonBasketball @Burlingtonhoop]

Full circle! Ecstatic to announce that my former player, 1000 point scorer, then assistant @LikeMike12_ (Mike Demartinis) has been appointed the new coach at BHS! Please follow @RedDevilsHoops as the new X of Burlington High Boys Basketball! Congrats Mike! @BHSRedDevils

In our FIRST season competing in the Hoop Group Academic League, New England ELITE Basketball has quickly established itself as one of the top emerging programs on the circuit.

🏀 2027 HGAL Team currently ranked 4th out of 52 teams
🏀 2028 HGAL Team currently ranked 5th overall
🏀 Multiple college programs already beginning to reach out to our student-athletes
🏀 Competed this spring in New Jersey, Pittsburgh, and Manheim with more national events still ahead this July

“Considering this is our first year on the circuit and we are already a Top Five program, this is a tremendous testament to the work of our players and coaches.” — Eric Polli, Senior Director

A huge thank you to Brandon Hoban, Brandon Wiercinski, our players, coaches, and families for helping build a culture centered around accountability, hard work, and winning.

THIS IS NE ELITE. 🔴⚪️🔵

Very proud of @mikesimmons__ on winning the 8th Grade @TheHoopGroup 🏆 this weekend @play_neelite. I watched Mike grow as a player at Austin Prep and with Mass Elite, and even then you could see the leadership qualities he had. Very lucky to have Michael now coach in our program

@LikeMike12_ I could not be more proud of you! @Burlingtonhoop is in great hands long term with you at the helm

[Eric Polli @PolliEric]

For many years, @zg_newengland #StateChampionships has always been one of the most talked about events of the Spring season. Many of our @play_neelite teams will be competing this weekend. We may have a surprise for any team that brings home a 🏆⁉️

[NE Elite HGAL @NEElite_HGAL]

One of the biggest reasons our 2027’s have such a solid record thus far in first season @HoopGroupAL is THIS GUY @ethan_suhajda27. The ultimate team player, workhorse, high IQ and tremendous teammate. He was a ⭐️ last weekend #NJJamFest 🎥

[New England Elite Basketball @play_neelite]

Instead of having 2 teams from the same club program playing in the finals, Coach Brynda and Coach Jenkins 8th graders celebrated Co-Championship this past weekend @zg_newengland #GoldRush. Both these teams BACK this weekend #RumblefortheRing

[New England Elite Basketball @play_neelite]

Coach Simmons (@mikesimmons__) 8th graders were missing a few guys due to injuries and vacations, but still managed to grind out a tournament championship competing @zg_newengland #GoldRush. Special thanks to some of the boys from Coach Brynda’s team who “played up” and helped us this weekend

[Eric Polli @PolliEric]

Our Juniors @NEElite_HGAL have 3 victories thus far in first weekend of HGAL competition. Big wins against 2 other HGAL programs and also a UA Rise program. Cannot say enough about the work @Bhoban23 and @brandonski1 are doing with these guys. Wow!!!!!!!

[New England Elite Basketball @play_neelite]

ROSTERS ARE SET @NEElite_HGAL teams competing #PittJamFest @TheHoopGroup. 3️⃣ Friday games to determine Sundays schedule. Stay tuned all weekend for updates‼️

[Eric Polli @PolliEric]

Huge credit to our @NEElite_HGAL Directors @Bhoban23 and @brandonski. Both these guys stepped it up big time these last few days—coordinating everything and even securing a bus for players whose families couldn’t make the trip. Lots of work goes into this behind the scenes!

[Jason Fleegle @fleeezeee]

I got zero issues with kids missing an AAU weekend to attend their prom.

[NE Elite HGAL @NEElite_HGAL]

Our top @HoopGroupAL 10th grade team played incredible team basketball and won D1 Championship to open season @NERRHoops #NortheastHoopfest. Coaches @Bhoban23 and @brandonski1 are doing a great job with these guys 👏

[New England Elite Basketball @play_neelite]

Our Girls program is officially BACK!!! Congrats Coach Jenkins 8th graders on bringing home @zg_newengland #QueenoftheCourt championship during their opening weekend of the Spring season

[New England Elite Basketball @play_neelite]

WELL DONE 👍7th graders (coached @mikesimmons__) finished 4-0 on the weekend and delivered opening weekend 🏆 @NERRHoops #NortheastHoopfest

[Eric Polli @PolliEric]

Opening Weekend is HERE @NERRHoops #NortheastHoopfest
We couldn’t be more excited to get our @play_neelite teams out on the floor and competing in tournaments. This is what we’ve been building toward. Let’s Go!!!!!
