MUNCIE, Ind. — The past decade hasn't been ideal for Muncie Burris' boys basketball program.
The Owls haven't notched a winning record or won a postseason game since 2011-12. The team was trending in the right direction with a 9-11 record two years ago, but a 2-8 start to last season and the midseason departure of former head coach Joe Anderson marked another step back.
Then head coach John Donahue and his staff took over, leading the boys to victories in seven of their final 10 games. Just like that, the Owls had new life, and a strong senior class enters this winter with more confidence than ever before.
