The CHS girls’ varsity basketball team ended its five-game home stand last week winless, but in facing the top five teams in the Hockomock League during this period, Canton did show the ability to keep games close — something this team was not able to do at the start of the season. On a five-game […]

While the goals were somewhat hard to come by, the CHS boys’ varsity hockey team still managed to collect two more well-deserved wins last week, beating North Attleboro 3-0 at home and Stoughton 2-0 on the road to improve to 7-1-1 with five leage games remaining. On Wednesday against the Red Rocketeers, the Bulldogs got […]

For the last few weeks, members of the CHS girls’ and boys’ varsity swim teams have made plenty of individual progress, consistently improving their respective times in the pool. But these personal achievements did not always translate to team-wide success. It did last Friday, however, as both teams faced Norton and Foxboro at Wheaton College. […]

In the first two games of the season, the CHS girls’ varsity basketball team lost to Mansfield by 23 points and to Sharon by 33 points. Last week the Bulldogs got a chance to avenge these losses, and while the rematches were much more competitive, the results were just the same — two Canton losses. […]

Down by three in the final period against a good Mansfield team and in real danger of falling out of contention for the Hockomock title, the CHS boys’ varsity hockey team could have easily thrown in the towel and accepted its second defeat in as many games. Instead, the Bulldogs stormed back to life, scoring […]

Anyone who saw the last three games of the CHS boys’ basketball team had to come away frustrated. Earlier last week, the Bulldogs were easily defeated by Mansfield 77-44, came back and played very well against Southeastern Vo-Tech in a 56-51 win, but then fell late to Sharon on the road 49-38. Certainly CHS head […]
