Girls’ soccer team stays hot with two more wins

Although the goals continue to be scarce, the Canton High girls’ soccer team just keeps on winning — improving to 6-1-3 with road victories last week over Stoughton and Taunton.

Accident victim an inspiration to all who knew her

For more than 40 years as an educator, foster parent, and crisis counselor, Mary Centarrino Morningstar helped and counseled others while asking for little — and very often nothing — in return. The longtime Canton resident would sometimes buy clothes and other necessities for her students and once gave away her own dining room table […]
