Bulldogs near or at top of standings in many fall sports

With the fall regular season coming to a close over the next week or so, many Bulldogs teams find themselves in the hunt for a Hockomock Davenport Championship.  Here is an accounting of those teams in the title hunt:

Football- Friday night's 39-0 victory at home pushed the gridiron 'dogs' record to 6-0 and a 4-0 mark in the Hock Davenport with just one game to play in the regular season.  That game is against 3-1 North Attleboro next Friday- October 19th at 7:00pm at CHS.  NA is the only team in the Dav that can catch the Bulldogs but nobody in the League can surpass them.  Therefore, the Bulldogs have already clinched at least a share of the Hock Davenport Crown- its first League title since 1990.  The Bulldogs would win the title outright with a victory over North Attleboro on Friday.

Golf- The Bulldog Golf team stands with a League record of 7-1 with two matches remaining and hold a slim lead over Sharon (6-2) for the top spot in the Davenport. The Bulldogs need one more win this upcoming week to clinch at least a share of the title.  A 2nd win this week would give the Hock Davenport back to Canton for the 2nd straight season.

Volleyball- After relinquishing the Hock Davenport crown for the first time in 11 years during the 2017 season, the Bulldog Volleyball squad is back and playing amazing volleyball in 2018  As of today, the team's record stands at 11-1- good enough for the top spot in the Hock Davenport with just 4 matches remaining.  Plenty of work left ahead of the 'dogs if they want to earn back the title they held for a decade, as the Black Knights of Stoughton are sitting at 10-2.  The 'dogs will travel to Stoughton on Monday for a huge match where a victory would put the 'dogs in a commanding lead in their quest for the Davenport Title.

Field Hockey-  It's a two horse race for the Davenport in Field Hockey as our Bulldogs are sitting right behind Foxboro for the top-spot.  A loss on the road to Foxboro earlier this week certainly made the challenge all the greater but the Bulldogs certainly have the ability to earn every point ahead of them.  They will just need a little help along the way if they want to reclaim the title they earned in 2017.

Boys Soccer- The Boys Soccer team find themselves in second place in the Hock Davenport with a record of 6-2-3, but within striking distance of first place Milford (7-1-2). The Bulldogs fell to the Scarlet Hawks earlier in the season (2-1) at home and will certainly need to beat the top team on their field the second time around as well as battle through a tough set of Davenport games to finish the season.

Other Bulldog teams this fall might be out of league contention, but are performing well.  The Girls Soccer team has been playing great soccer but results have been hard to come by. They currently sit in 3rd place in the Davenport.  The Boys Cross Country team currently sit in 3rd place in the Davenport with a 2-2 mark while the Girls Cross Country team sits at 1-3 but is improving each race.  The Unified Basketball team is off to a great start as they have already won their first game. The Cheer team's competition season is about to get underway so good luck to them!
