BJ Burlace is ready to represent Anne Arundel County this weekend along four other of his teammates from St. Mary’s Annapolis.

The Saints had a promising season, going 11–6 and reaching the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association-A conference playoffs.

Burlace was a huge factor on the defense all season for St. Mary’s. The Yale University commit makes some ridiculous checks and can get after ground balls.

“It was an amazing feeling. I loved every minute of it. I can’t wait to be up there playing with them soon!” Said BJ, regarding Yale winning the Men’s NCAA Division 1 championship this past May.

The PRLB did a Q&A with BJ to get his thoughts on the season and what he’s looking forward to this weekend as he plays in Under Armour Underclass tournament for the Baltimore team.
