Though they weren't able to keep the lead, the Norton wrestlers managed to finish second (102 points) behind Pembroke (120 points) and well ahead of Wakefield (83.5), Hingham (83), and Hudson (82.5) and the rest of the 53 teams at the Division 3 State Individual Tournament. An impressive team effort made up for a lack of champions. Though the Lancers had only one finalist, their determined and gutsy performance in the consolations gave them enough points to challenge Pembroke who had four champions. Placewinners (top 6 in each weight go on to All-States this weekend) for Norton included Mike Travers (2nd at 182), Myles McAlpine (3rd at 152), Tim Casagni (3rd at 195), JT Taylor (4th at 145), Elliott Johnson (6th at 170), Jack Cuneo (7th …

In an exciting meet before a vocal home crowd, the Lancers fell to Holliston Wednesday, Jan. 23 but made up for it this weekend with a win against Tyngsboro, Cohasset and Quincy. The Panthers, state runners-up to Norton in last year's Division 3 State Championship, got the revenge they sought in a meet that came down to the final match in which Alex Mitchell of Holliston hung on to defeat Elliott Johnson of Norton 7-6. The key to Holliston's victory came in the 285 pound weight class when Donny Murphy reversed and pinned Stephen Hudson, Norton's captain and hero of the 2012 State finals. There were bright spots for the Lancers who came from behind 31-15 and closed the gap to 34-31 going into the last match of the night. Norton got …
