Return of 10 starters bodes well for Lancers in 2011-12.
With the return of 10 starters, including five Tri-Valley League all-stars, from this year, the Norton High wrestling team looks primed for a very successful 2011-12 campaign.

Lancers cap terrific team campaign by having league-best six wrestlers named to squad.
The Norton High wrestling team culminated an excellent 2010-11 campaign by having six of its members named to the Tri-Valley League All-Star Team. Junior captain Brett Gallagher, who competed at 119 pounds, was selected as the TVL MVP for this season, along with Holliston senior Larry Enright, who wrestled at 112.

Tough competition and injuries thwart Lancers during All-State Meet.
In any sport, there are going to be good days and there are going to be bad days. The Norton High wrestling team has enjoyed numerous successful days this winter, but had a couple of rough ones this past weekend during the MIAA All-State Meet at Salem High School. The Lancers had carried a ton of momentum into the All-State Meet after having their best team finish ever (second place) at the Division 3 State Meet in Holliston and qualifying the most wrestlers in the program’s history for the All-State Meet in five. Battling tough competition, injuries and fatigue, Norton, unfortunately, did not have any of its five wrestlers place during the All-State Meet this past weekend. Junior captain Brett Gallagher entered the meet as a two-time …

Lancers win fourth straight overall with victory over Bellingham on Wednesday.
The Norton High wrestling team recorded its second Tri-Valley League dual-meet victory of the season with a 34-0 win in Bellingham on Wednesday night. The Lancers captured all six matches that were contested against a rebuilding Blackhawk program. With the win, Norton improved to 10-4 overall and 2-1 in the TVL.
