Boys Basketball upsets 1st place Sharon- The streaking Boys Basketball team made it 6 wins in-a-row on Friday….and they did it with a bang, nearly putting up 100 points on first place Sharon in a 97-71 win. The victory was especially sweet as it denied the Eagles a chance to celebrate an outright Davenport Championship on the Bulldog's court while it kept hope alive that the 'dogs could catch the Eagles in the title chase. It was an overall great team effort which saw Sam Larson score 35 points. But beyond Larson, it seemed like whenever you turned around another Bulldog was getting it done- whether it was Atu Botsio aggressively driving to the hoop to make an acrobatic shot and earn the foul…or Matt Kelley and Tristan Morris knocking down huge 3's (just about always coming when it appeared the Eagles may go on a run)….or Scott Olshaker tipping offensive rebounds to a teammate to keep a key possession going. It was a team effort. The Dogpound played its part too, starting out with Silent Night and not stopping until the final buzzer.
The win qualified the squad for the State Tournament and it came on the heels of a nice road win on Tuesday night over KP, 67-59. The team has remaining games with Stoughton, Foxboro and Fairhaven as they look to keep the momentum going heading into the State Tournament.
Boys Hockey makes it 5 in-a-row- The Boys Hockey team's 5-1 win over Mansfield on Saturday night at home made it 5 victories in-a-row, the latest in a string of good play that has seen the Bulldogs lose only one game in twelve since January 1st. The win also wraps up the team's 4th straight Hockomock Davenport Championship. The Bulldogs allowed the first goal but it was all CHS after that. Two goals each by Ben Lodge and Matt Lazaro as well as a lone tally by Brendan Logan kept the home crowd happy. The victory comes on the heels of another convincing Hock victory- 5-0 over King Philip on Wednesday. Lazaro was the star in that one with a hat trick while net minder Justin Slocum earned the shutout.
