Norton Boys Lookin' Good

          The Norton Track teams have shown that they are a strong program that just keeps moving forward each year, but now they just might be the elite team for Winter Track. Norton started off the year facing the supposed number one seed Medfield and beating them 54-32! The Boys have some of the top runners around the league in every event along with great depth to get those much needed third places in meets. Norton has at least one athlete in the top five in every event along with the best 4x400 relay. But more often than not, they have MULTIPLE athletes in the top five in events. At this point in the season, they have two athletes in the top three of the following events: high jump(1&2), 55m dash(2&3), 55m hurdles(1&2), and the 300m(2&3). This shows that the boys are not only ready to win the league, but to also win the Norton team's first TVL Championship Meet in history. They are following in the footsteps of the undefeated TVL Champion XC team and look to continue Norton's undefeated streak through this season and into the next. Coach Taylor could not be anymore proud with his hardworking group of athletes that solidify the Norton program as one of the best around and him as the best coach in the TVL. Norton2013-14= 27-0

Hall Of Patriots Reflection

          What could be more exciting than getting out of school to go tour the highly esteemed Hall Of Patriots? How about also meeting an actual player and interviewing him! This once in a life time oppertunity was brought upon by a school field trip for my Sports Reading and Writing class. Since the class is all about sports and writing articles, going to the Hall for a field trip to interview a Patriot was perfect for the class. We started off the tour on the second floor and were told of the history of the Patriots and the start of the Craft Era. Then, we got to look around on our own and examine all the famous memorabilia. Next, we were brought to a private theatre to see a screening of the Hall's short film on how impactful the Patriots have been to the area. Lastly, we were given an exclusive chance to sit down and interview LB Steve Beauharais with Romeo from Kiss 108! We asked him everything we wanted to know including his role models and favorite music. After the interview, our picture was taken with him, we wished him good luck, and then we were on our way back to school. Or were we? It was already past lunch time, so we were "forced" to go to Five Guys. It was a wonderful way to end an amazing day!
