Post-Season rolls on..huge crowds, huge hearts & some wrestling history

This past week saw the Bulldog community come out and support our winter athletes in large numbers and with large hearts! Throngs of Bulldog fans supported the Boys Basketball and Boys Hockey teams in early round tourney action. Along the way, the community has also rallied around our assistant hockey coach- coach Rocha's family's cancer battle in a team inspired "Fight Like a Bulldog" campaign. Meanwhile, members of our Wrestling team advanced further than any Bulldog has ever advanced while our Cheerleading squad kept up their "banner year."  It was a big week!


Sullivan and Merrigan go where no Bulldog has gone before- The two most accomplished wrestlers in the history of the CHS Wrestling program continued to outdo the past as both Quinn Merrigan and Chris Sullivan advanced to the finals of their respective weight classes at the All-State Wrestling Championships this weekend.  No Bulldog Wrestler has ever advanced to the finals of the All-States before the dynamic duo did this weekend. Both of the senior Bulldogs had great victories leading up to their finals match-ups, both with the defending champion. Each wrestled well in the final but came up just short.


Boys Hoop ends tremendous run- The Boys Basketball season came to an end on Wednesday night at the hands of top seeded Bishop Feehan (21-1). The loss marked the first blemish on the team's record since a loss to the state's top ranked team, Mansfield on January 21st. Sandwiched in between those two losses to powerhouse programs, the Bulldogs won 10 straight, thrilled local fans, and made it clear that basketball is back here in Canton. Congratulations to the coaches and staff on a great season.

Boys Hockey advances to Sectional Semi-Final- The Boys Hockey team followed up a first round win over Scituate with a 2-0 win over Medway in the sectional quarterfinal round at Brockton on Saturday. Brian Hagan and Kevin O'Brien scored for the Bulldogs while sophomore goaltender Justin Slocum was clean in the shutout. The Dog Pound came out in force in supporting the Bulldogs who will travel to Bourne on Thursday to face top-seeded Plymouth South on Thursday night at 7:30pm.


Cheerleaders crowned Regional Champs....again!- Sunday saw the Cheerleading squad follow up its fall Regional Championship with yet another for the winter season. The team was incredible and will look to take home the states on Sunday at Tantasqua Regional. Good luck!
