Streaks continue...Champions are crowned…Statements are made….Awareness is raised….
Girls Basketball raises breast cancer awareness- The Masciarelli Gymnasium was a sea of pink on Friday night as the CHS honored the accomplishments of our graduating seniors while raising awareness and money for breast cancer through the Play4Kay initiative. Despite losing to Foxboro, both the Bulldogs and the visiting Warriors donned pink and collected money for the important charity. It was a wonderful example of high school students taking the lead and following through on a great initiative. The team also said good-bye to its three seniors- Alana Carrington, Caitlyn Hathaway and Kellie Stigas. They will be missed!
Boys Hockey peaking at right time- A convincing 4-1 victory over North Quincy on Wednesday night was the only game of the snow-shortened week for the Boys Hockey team. The victory was the team's 7th in-a-row and really showcased just how far this team has come this season. The team has lost only one game since failing to earn a win in the first 4 games of the season. Watching this team this season has really been a study in team development. Wednesday saw the team dominate a very good North Quincy team. Goals were scored by Matt Lazaro (2), Ben Lodge, and Brian Hagan.
The team will end the regular season with a run of three games in three days on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday- Wednesday at home at 2:30 vs. Lincoln-Sudbury.
Wrestlers shine at Sectionals- The Wrestling team (like many CHS teams this year) were handed a very tough tournament road when the MIAA realigned this year. The team was moved from the competitive South Section to the ultra-competitive Central Section for tournament play. To say that the team responded well would be an understatement. Saturday saw six Bulldogs advance to the semi-finals of their weight class, three make the finals, and one crowned Sectional Champion- on the way to a 4th place team finish.
Chris Sullivan was the champion while Quinn Merrigan and Rob DiCalogero joined Sullivan in the final round. Brendan Lewis, and Wavol Prentice earned 3rd place finishes while Derek Haas also advanced to the semi-final round. All six of these Bulldogs have earned a place at next weekend's D3 State Meet.
Dream Boys Hoop season continues- What better way to respond to a mid-season 6-game losing streak than running off 8 wins in-a-row while qualifying for the state tournament, earning 2nd place in the Davenport, posting the program's highest win total in 18 years, and thrilling Bulldog fans to some amazing games? If you haven't noticed, that's exactly what our Boys Basketball team has been up to lately.
This week saw the Bulldogs down two Davenport opponents- home vs. Stoughton on Tuesday (68-51) and Foxboro on the road Friday (73-65). The team's seniors have really led the way during this impressive run. Leading the offensive assault has been Sam Larson, who's 26 points against Foxboro game him a career total of 986 points heading into today's game at Fairhaven.
Girls Hockey makes statement vs. state's best- It has been the story of this year's Girls Hockey season---the team plays great, against great opponents, but just can't find the back of the net enough to come away with a positive result. Wednesday night saw the top ranked, undefeated Duxbury Dragons visit Canton and, from the stands, it appeared to be yet another even game, but Canton managed only two goals while the Dragons netted five (including an empty-netter). Jackie Martin provided both Bulldog goals and, as a result, the team was in the game until the end.
