Good morning, Burlington.

Chester native Kaiden McCarthy was picked by the Atlanta Braves with the 48th pick in the 2026 MLB draft on Saturday, July 11, making him Vermont's highest ever draft pick and first New England high schooler chosen after posting a 3-0 record and a 0.72 ERA for Vermont Academy.

Families gathered at Virtue Field on Saturday when Senator Bernie Sanders joined Vermont Green FC for a free youth soccer clinic for children ages 6-13.

Kids practiced drills, small-sided games & teamwork while building new skills on the field.

Emily Mara scored in the second half to send Vermont Green FC women's team to the USL W final in its debut season.

The goal advanced the team to the postseason match.
