Boys Basketball team ends 26 year drought with Davenport Championship


Add 2018 to this list---Long time comin' 
Friday night at CHS saw a packed house treated to a great Boys Basketball game between the Bulldogs and the Stoughton Black Knights. The game was tight through much of the contest but the Bulldogs pulled away by double digits late in the 3rd and were able to stave off an upset minded Black Knight squad. Final score- 65-56. 

2018 Hock Davenport Champions 
The win earned CHS our first Basketball league championship since both the boys and girls teams took the title in 1992.  It couldn't have happened with a better group.  Prior to the start of the season, the Bulldogs dedicated their season to their teammate- Xavier Machuga- who suffered a serious medical condition last spring and was unable to suit up for the team this year. (see Boston Globe Article). Tonight's win and subsequent Hockomock Davenport title is the cherry on top of what has already been an amazing journey of team, discovery, challenges and triumphs for this group. 

Congratulations to coach Ryan Gordy, his staff and his amazing group of student athletes on making us all very proud. 

Congratulations also go out to the Foxboro Warriors who's win tonight over N. Attleboro gave them a share of the Davenport title with the Bulldogs.
