Norton boys varsity team takes the win
Last Thursday, in the gymnasium at Norton High the boys varsity basketball team came together to defeat the Rockland Bulldogs. The lancers sent them home with nearly a twenty point deficit.The fans crowded into the stands ready for a good fight against the Bulldogs. As soon as the ball was tipped off it was a heart filled fight to be the best team on both offense and defense.
The Lancers kept their lead as a result of 10 three point shots throughout the game. Five of the ten were made by senior Keenan Coffey who seemed to be on fire the entire game.
With every pass, the fans could sense that the boys had come to the game ready to win. Every fast break was completed with a quick pass between two of the team mates and then a made lay-up. Every made basket was followed by a roar from the Norton stands, all dressed in white to show support for their team.
The Lancers fought hard the entire game, giving it their all even in the last plays of the game. Even as the Bulldogs stepped up their game to match Norton, the Lancers never gave up their lead and were able to finish the game 65-44.
Norton's beloved fan, Peter Wiggins, helped lead the Lancer fans in an encouraging chant, " Here we go Lancers, here we go!" After asking him if he was excited about the win, Peter replied, "Yes Maggie, I'm proud to be a Lancer!".
