Larson joins exclusive club

proud family just moments after the historic basket. 

It seemed only fitting that as the most successful Bulldog basketball regular season in 18 years came to a close on Sunday, a little history would be made to add some frosting to the already tasty cake.  Sunday, in Fairhaven High School's gymnasium, in front of dozens of devoted family, friends and Bulldog fans, CHS senior Sam Larson drove to the basket early in the 2nd half and calmly laid in the 1000th and 1001st points of his Bulldog career.

Joining the 1000 point club is no small feat.  Only 5 Bulldogs have done so before Larson (four on the boys side and one on the girls- Adam Fletcher- '93, Bruce Dasilva- '95, Eileen Morneau- '96, Adam Jablonski- '00, and Brian Pendergast- '00. ) 

Larson has helped the Bulldogs to a 13-7 regular season record, ending the schedule with an improbable 9-game winning streak. 

Larson is a three-sport star at CHS where he has been a two-time Hock All-Star in basketball and soccer.  He will captain the 2014 baseball team and is headed to URI to join their pitching staff in the fall.
