After being down the fourth quarter the Lancers scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes of the game to steal a win on the road from D-S.
Norton won a hard fought game against Dover-Sherborn, 20-7, Friday night. The Lancers were down, 7-6, with under four minutes to go in the fourth quarter when Norton recovered a Rogers Boylan fumble at their own 44 yard line. On the very next play Norton runningback Joe Colley bolted up the middle for a 56-yard touchdown run to give the Lancers the lead. With just over two minutes left in the game and D-S down, 12-7, Raiders quarterback Will Scatchard threw an interception that was run back for a touchdown putting the game out of reach. Both teams played strong defensively in what was a back-and-forth game game but it was the Lancers defense who played well enough for a full 60 minutes to get the win. Norton upped their record to 3-5 on …

Lancers looking to put last week’s loss behind them in Westwood on Friday night.
After a disheartening loss last week, the Norton High football team will look to rebound when it travels to Flahive Field in Westwood to face an undefeated Wolverine squad in a Tri-Valley League contest on Friday night at 7 p.m. Last Friday night at a rain-soaked Adams Field, the Lancers suffered a tough 27-0 setback to the combined team from Millis and Hopedale in a match-up of the top two teams in the Tri-Valley League’s Small School Division. “It was a butt kicking on Friday night, plain and simple,” said Norton head coach Ted Currle. “It was a lack of effort. On offense we have to block the people we are assigned to block. We didn’t do that last week. We have to have more passion with our blocking. “Our effort was sub-par on Friday …

Second terrific effort in as many weeks leads to victory on Saturday in Reading.
For a season that started with an awful lot of questions for the Norton High football team, it certainly has gotten off to a terrific start. After an impressive win over Division 2A opponent Falmouth last week in Mansfield, the Lancers made it two straight to start the 2011 campaign with a 28-18 victory over Austin Prep in a non-league game on Saturday morning in Reading. With the win, Norton improved to 2-0 overall and is preparing this week for its showdown with the combined team from Millis and Hopedale in the inaugural Tri-Valley League Small Division contest for both squads on Friday night at Adams Field at 7 p.m. “It was a great game,” said Norton coach Ted Currle. “Overall it was a big step in the right direction for the team. After…

Lancers want to follow up big win last week with another one on Saturday.
With its first division game looming next week, the Norton High football team will look for its second victory of the season when the Lancers travel up to Reading to face Austin Prep in a non-league game on Saturday at 11 a.m. Norton is coming off a heart-stopping 20-19 victory over Division 2A opponent Falmouth last Friday night, a game that was not decided until the final 30 seconds. “It was a great win, but we love them all,” said third-year Norton head coach Ted Currle. “I look back to Medway (23-14 in 2010 season opener at home) as probably the biggest win we have had since I’ve been the head coach.” The Lancers will face an Austin Prep team this week that has had a tremendous tradition under 19-year head coach Bill Maradei, who has …

Lancers hold off late rally by Clippers to capture season opener on Friday night.
Following a tumultuous off-season, there is no better way to start a new season than with a victory. Even though there were some scary moments at the end, the Norton High football team did just that, opening the 2011 campaign with a hard-fought 20-19 win over Falmouth in a non-league contest on Friday night at Alumni Field in Mansfield. “It was an excellent game,” said third-year Norton head coach Ted Currle. “Winning your first game is always huge. Anytime you win the moral is high the next week. We showed a lot of good things against a Division 2 team. We showed we can be a pretty good football team this year.” The Lancers pulled out all the stops to get the win, starting with a fake punt on its fourth play of game. The team also rotated…

Lancers head to Mansfield Friday to meet Division 2A foe Falmouth.
The Norton High football team will certainly not ease into its 2011 campaign as the Lancers will face a stern test during its season opener in the form of Falmouth in a non-league game on Friday night at 7 p.m. in Mansfield. The Lancers are members of the new Tri-Valley League Small School Division and are now in Division 4. They will battle a Clipper team that resides in the Atlantic Coast League and is part of Division 2A. “They are a Division 2 team, so it will be a good test for us,” said third-year Norton head coach Ted Currle, whose captains this season are seniors Tyler Durocher and Nick Jenkins. “This is a game where if we compete, play hard and play well, it will give the team confidence going forward.” Falmouth is part of the ACL…

Lancers and Falcons face off in drills and short scrimmage on Saturday.
After three days of conditioning and two days of hitting each other, the Norton High football team got the opportunity to hit someone else on Saturday morning as the entire squad scrimmaged against Dighton-Rehoboth behind the Yelle Elementary School. It was actually more of a controlled practice and scrimmage between the Lancers and the Falcons on Saturday as both squads participated in blocking, offensive and defensive drills before taking part in a quick scrimmage. “Today I wanted to see what we had worked on for the last five days,” said Norton head coach Ted Currle. “I wanted to see how well we executed and I also wanted to see kids flying around and hitting someone. I did see some good things, but overall we were sloppy. We really …
