Field hockey still in contention after win, tie

After a rare loss to King Philip the week before, the Canton High field hockey team returned to action last week and produced two strong performances: a 2-2 tie against Mansfield and an easy 5-1 win over Milford. While they would have liked to have won both contests, head coach Fior Griffin said she was […]

Great week for both cross country teams

The CHS boys’ cross country team earned its first victory of the season, and the girls nabbed their fourth dual meet win in five tries last week against Stoughton. Both teams also had a good showing in the state Twilight Meet, held Saturday evening in Falmouth. In the boys’ 28-29 win over the Black Knights, […]

Boys’ soccer clinches 7th straight postseason berth

Coming off back-to-back losses to Hockomock opponents Stoughton and Taunton, the CHS boys’ soccer team rebounded in a big way last week with a convincing win and two come-from-behind draws to improve to 6-5-2 on the season. The Bulldogs’ lone victory of the week over nonleague Tyngsborough was a big one as it qualified the […]

Bulldogs lose overtime heartbreaker to Sharon 21-14

The Canton Bulldogs learned the hard way that football is a 48-minute game — and sometimes more than that — as the Bulldogs squandered a 14-0 lead in the fourth quarter before falling to rival Sharon 21-14 in overtime. The second consecutive come-from-behind win for the Eagles extended their unbeaten record to 5-0, while the […]

The CHS varsity volleyball team steamrolled through three more opponents last week, improving its season record to 10-0 following straight-set wins over Foxboro, Stoughton, and Taunton.

Girls’ soccer stays hot with 3 more easy wins

It was a study in contrasts last week as the red-hot CHS girls’ soccer team did battle with three of the Hockomock’s cellar dwellers, winning all three contests by a combined score of 15-1. Head coach Paul Turner described all three as comfortable wins, and that was especially true in home games against Stoughton (5-0) […]

CHS golfers shine in wins vs. NA, Foxboro

Coming off a disappointing home loss to Taunton 10 days ago, the CHS golf team rebounded with two wins last week and improved to 5-3. This week the Bulldogs are setting their sights on first-place Sharon in a key Davenport Division matchup scheduled for Tuesday at Sharon Country Club. Last week, the Bulldogs went on […]

Girls’ soccer nabs 2 more Davenport wins

After demoralizing first-place Oliver Ames on its home field the week before, the Canton High girls’ soccer team continued its run through the Davenport Division with back-to-back road wins over Sharon and Foxboro last week.

Citizen’s Joe DeFelice a legend on the diamond

If you see a car with the license plate SFTBLL heading down Washington Street, there’s a good chance it’s heading to a softball tournament. The driver, Canton native and longtime Canton Citizen columnist Joe DeFelice, has had a decades-long love affair with baseball and softball. He played in his first Little League game at the age of […]
