T&B Pub aiming to be a Canton fixture

Local restaurateur Rod Lampron is a native of Charlestown and a resident of Norwood, but his new eatery, T&B Pub, is undeniably Canton — from the family-style atmosphere right down to the restaurant’s décor. “My whole vision was to create a place for the people of Canton,” said Lampron, who opened for business in September […]

Field hockey still unbeaten despite setback at Foxboro

It was a mix of highs and lows for the CHS field hockey team last week as the Bulldogs added three wins — all shutouts — to their already impressive resume; however, they also had their perfect record tarnished with a disappointing 2-2 draw against Foxboro on Tuesday. Earlier in the season, Canton had beaten […]

Volleyball team captures Davenport title

For the eighth time in nine seasons, the CHS volleyball team has earned the right to be called Hockomock champions, capturing the Davenport Division outright with wins last week over Foxboro and Oliver Ames. The Bulldogs also added a 3-0 home victory over nonleague Ursuline for good measure, giving them 13 wins for the season […]

Girls’ soccer clinches share of Davenport title

With a 1-1 tie against second-place Oliver Ames last week, the Canton High girls’ soccer team has guaranteed itself at least a share of the Davenport Division title and could win the crown outright with wins this week over Foxboro and Stoughton. The Bulldogs have been almost perfect this season with no losses and just […]

Schools to present ‘Race to Nowhere’

Is America’s “high-stakes and high-pressure” culture hurting its children? Are students today really overworked, overstressed, and underprepared for the working world? That is the argument put forth by filmmaker and mother of three Vicki Abeles, whose first feature-length documentary, Race to Nowhere: The Dark Side of America’s Achievement Culture, will be presented to the Canton […]

CHS girls’ soccer trounces Sharon on Senior Night

With rain forcing the cancellation of last Friday’s game at Foxboro, the unbeaten CHS girls’ soccer team had just one game last week, but it sure was impressive as the Bulldogs celebrated Senior Night with a 6-1 blowout win over the visiting Sharon Eagles. The win was Canton’s tenth of the season and its second […]

Boys’ soccer tops Foxboro to stay unbeaten

After settling for another disappointing draw against Sharon last week, the Canton High boys’ soccer team bounced back with a crisp, 2-0 win over Foxboro Sunday night at home. The Bulldogs, rated No. 2 in the Boston Globe’s Top 20 poll coming into the week, seemed to get a huge lift from the return of […]

Unbeaten field hockey tops Sharon, Dedham

The wins keep coming for the Canton High field hockey team, which is now a perfect 12-0 after victories last week over Sharon and nonleague Dedham. In addition to boasting the Hockomock League’s best record, the Bulldogs have put themselves in great position for a top seed in the south sectional tournament, as they look […]

Volleyball team suffers road setback at Franklin

Just a week removed from its impressive 3-1 home win over top-ranked Franklin, the CHS varsity volleyball team traveled to the Panthers’ gym last Thursday in an attempt to duplicate the effort, but ultimately came up short, falling in straight sets 25-23, 25-21, 25-21. It was just the second loss this season for the Bulldogs, […]

CHS grad reflects on military career under DADT

In the fall of 2004, during her third deployment to Iraq as a combat photojournalist, U.S. Army Specialist Blanka K. Stratford signed a sworn statement admitting to being in a sexual relationship with another woman. A few weeks later, on November 19, she was sent home with an honorable discharge in accordance with the military’s official policy at the time on homosexuality, known colloquially as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
