Lancers break six-game losing streak with win on Martha’s Vineyard Wednesday.
The Norton High girls’ basketball team completed its season in exciting fashion, coming back to defeat Martha’s Vineyard 46-44 in a non-league game on Wednesday afternoon in Oak Bluffs. Senior captain and forward Shannon Hansen finished her Lancer career in the best way possible, hitting a three-pointer with five seconds remaining in the game to give her team an exciting two-point victory.
