The defending Tri-Valley League and Division 3 State Champion Norton High wrestlers kick off the 2012-13 season this Saturday, Dec. 8, at home in a quad meet against Taunton, Nauset and Norwell starting at 10 a.m. The Lancers will be led by co-captains Stephen Hudson who is third in state at 220 lbs and Jack Cuneo who is sixth in state at 170 lbs. Coaches Pat Coleman, Chris McCarthy and John Royle are excited about this season's promise, despite graduating seven starters from last year's 26-1 team. That team included two state champs and three sectional champs. “While the strength of last season's team was talent, this season's team has more balance as the Lancers may fill all 14 weight classes for the first time in years,” coach Pat …

Lancers satisfied with Division 3 State Championship

The Norton High wrestlers simply ran out of steam and luck at the All-State Tournament in Salem this weekend. Fatigue, injuries and illness all caught up to the Lancers, and although they made a strong bid, the level of competition was unforgiving. Scott Coleman, D-3 State champion at 145 pounds got the wind knocked out of him in his first match and, with his lungs still compromised by a recent case of pneumonia, had an asthma attack and couldn't recover within the 1 and 1/2 minutes of injury time allotted and had to default. He came back to win 9-3 in consolation over a D-1 state runnerup, but gassed in his next match and lost 4-3 to the wrestler he beat two weeks ago in the D-3 state semi-finals. Jack Cuneo, who was sixth in D-3 …

The Lancers find success against the Billerica Indians and the Oliver Ames Tigers.
With a one-day delay due to the snow and the absence of Weston turning this quad into a tri-meet, the Norton Lancers maintained their almost perfect record (15-1, 4-0 TVL) against both the Billerica Indians and the Oliver Ames Tigers. The Lancers defeated the Indians 38-21 and the Tigers 51-30. With a smaller squad due to miscellaneous injuries and illnesses, the Lancers were forced to shuffle the lineup against both the Indians and the Tigers to maintain a competitive match. “We don’t make excuses but we had to use our strategy as best we could to secure a team victory,” Norton head coach Pat Coleman said. “We moved some guys around in weight classes. We gave up some forfeits here and there but we had our eye on the scoreboard the whole …

The Lancers win all but one match en route to a 54-9 win.
Part of the deal of joining the Norton Lancers wrestling team are the high expectations that comes with being on a traditionally competitive team. “Our goal was to win every match JV and varsity against a tough team,” Lancers head coach Pat Coleman said. "I think the boys did a tremendous job of that.” Losing only one match by points, the Lancers soundly defeated the Hopkinton Hillers, 54-9 . The Hillers had one lead during the meet at 6-0 via a Norton forfeit in the 106 pound match. After that, it was the Lancers who were pushing the pace. Ahrayah Saintius got the first win for the Lancers in the 113 pound match after an injury to Scott Nixon gave Norton a default win in the third period. John Norton escaped almost certain defeat in the …

They Lancers get three wins over Hingham, Somerset-Berkley, and Sharon to win the quad meet.
While there were three opponents Saturday morning at the Lancers’ wrestling quad meet, it was apparent that the defending MIAA Division III South Sectional Team Champion Hingham Harbormen were gong to be the biggest challenge for Norton. “We knew we were going to have a hard match against them today,” Norton head coach Pat Coleman said. “It was closer than I had anticipated but its good for us.” With most of their team wrestling against each opponent, the Lancers defeated Hingham, Somerset-Berkey, and Sharon to walk away from the meet 3-0. In the opening match against Hingham, it was a battle different but almost evenly balanced strenghts as Norton had the advantage in the lower weight divisions and the Harbormen were the superior team in …
