Lancer Wrestlers Capture 5th League Title in 8 Years!

A strong Hopkinton team, undefeated in league meets came to Norton on Wednesday night determined to win the Tri-Valley championship.  But in an impressive display of intensity and composure, the Lancers won 10 of 14 matches to run away from the Hillers 47-18 to clinch their 5th TVL title in 8 years!

Leading the way were Norton's three stellar senior captains, JT Taylor (32-3), Myles McAlpine (30-4) and Mike Travers (28-1) who all pinned their opponents.  Other pins were recorded by sophomores Deven Schuko and Aidan Kahn.  In addition, key wins came from seniors Ahrayah Saintius and Branden Pike and juniors Russell Hansen, Elliott Johnson and Alek Donovan.

The JV Lancers were also victorious extending their record to 15-1-1.

This was the last home meet of the season and Norton's seniors were honored for their remarkable achievements including 2 league championships, 2 sectional championships, 2 state championships and a remarkable record of 81-5!          We are very proud of these fine young men:
        Kyle Aucoin - UMass Amherst / pre-law  
        Nick Cardone - URI / business
        Myles McAlpine - UMass Amherst / pre-med
        Grant Monast - Roger Williams / biology
