Lancers hold Seekonk to just 12 second-half points.
While the Norton High boys' basketball team settles into an offensive rhythm during the early stages of the season, the Lancers will be relying on one of their usual strengths, defense. And that was the case during the team's season opener on Friday night against non-league opponent Seekonk at the Lawrence Larocque Gymnasium. A tenacious Norton defense limited the Warriors to just 34 total points and only 12 in the second half on the way to 54-34 victory. "I was really happy with our defense tonight," said Norton head coach Marc Liberatore. "To hold a team like that to 34 points in the game and 12 in the second half is tough to do.
