Monday was a special night for two Canton High sports teams, as both the girls’ ice hockey and boys’ basketball teams opened MIAA tournament play with an upset win on the road. In the Division 2 south girls’ hockey bracket, #10 Canton defeated #7 Wellesley 6-4 at Babson Rink in Wellesley. Meaghan McKenna had a […]
Height, rebounding, and good outside shooting proved to be too much for the CHS boys’ basketball team as the Bulldogs fell to 5-14 with losses to Franklin in the Hockomock Classic 72-37 and to Stoughton 73-53 earlier last week. Canton had one more regular season game to play against Fairhaven before awaiting its playoff seed […]
The first win back in January could have been dismissed as a fluke, but after the CHS boys’ ice hockey team thoroughly outplayed Mansfield High in Saturday’s Hockomock Classic before an electric crowd at Metropolis Rink, it is now official — Canton owns the Hornets this year. To put it further into perspective, Mansfield had already […]
Last weekend was the CHS boys’ indoor track team’s time to shine as the Chris Elgar-coached team finished in a tie for third among 38 teams in the Division 3 Indoor Track Championships, held February 19 at the Reggie Lewis Track Center. The Bulldogs were sparked by the first-place finishes of seniors Jon Vaughn in […]
With the help of Canton forward Olivia Murphy’s 15-point, 24-rebound performance, the CHS girls’ basketball team defeated Stoughton 43-40 last week for the second time this season. On January 21, Canton roughed up Stoughton 81-58 at home. Last Tuesday night’s game in Stoughton was much closer, however. The Bulldogs led 41-40 with less than a […]
The Canton High girls’ hockey team finished the second-to-last week of the season with a mixed bag — an impressive 5-1 win over Medway/Ashland and a disappointing 4-3 loss against Franklin. The team’s season record now stands at 11-5-3. Coach Kelly Rider said the girls played hard and smart in the first period against Medway/Ashland. […]
With a 45-31 victory over Bedford last Monday night, the Canton High girls’ basketball team clinched a spot in the Division 3 state tournament.

Against Bedford, Murphy scored 10 points and collected 16 rebounds […]
As the season comes to a close, the Canton High School girls’ hockey team has kicked it into high gear with the signature strong performances the team is known for. Last week, the girls managed two decisive victories: 7-2 over Boston Latin Academy and 5-3 against Dover-Sherborn. Canton came out strong from the beginning of […]
After finding its offense and then some in a recent two-game stretch against Foxboro and Attleboro, the CHS boys’ ice hockey team traveled to Marlboro last week for its annual showdown with Lincoln-Sudbury and came out surprisingly flat, falling 3-1 in frustrating fashion at the New England Sports Center. It was the fourth time in […]
Plagued by injuries, the Canton High basketball team lost twice last week, falling to Southeastern Vocational Technical School 45-44 and Oliver Ames 64-47.
