Zach Hurynowicz and the Burlington boys’ basketball team made their mark Monday toppling Lexington 66-61 for their first victory over their Middlesex League rival in 12 years.

Hurynowicz, a senior guard, hit three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and scored 32 points to become the third player in school history to reach the 1,000-point plateau, the first Burlington player to do it since the 1980-81 season.

Hurynowicz cracked the mark seven minutes into the first quarter.

‘‘We opened the floor and he penetrated,’’ said Burlington coach Tom Lyons, whose squad improved to 7-4 overall and moved into second place in the league. ‘‘It was a back-and-forth game, but we just made bigger plays and bigger baskets.’’
