THE PROOF
A LEGACY
IN
CHESTER.
Three consecutive Delaware Valley League titles gave the Clippers a standard to protect. Burton helped make that standard real when the games got loud.
READ THE FULL LEGACYDISTRICT NIGHT
In March 2021, Chester played the PIAA 5A District 1 final on its own home court for the first time in school history. Burton helped lock down an emotional District Championship win in front of a hometown crowd.
OVERTIME NERVES
Against Crestwood in the 2021 state tournament, crucial fourth-quarter field goals fueled the comeback. In overtime, Burton hit a go-ahead three-pointer and ice-cold free throws to seal it.
