More than just a name: Canton’s Scott Brown doing big things for the CPD

Meet Scott Brown (and no, not that one). This Scott Brown is a patrolman with the Canton Police Department, not the newest member of the U.S. Senate. He is from Canton, not Wrentham, and he drives a police car, not a truck. Scott Brown has become a household name across the entire country, with the […]

Swim teams end regular season on a high note

It was a busy week for the CHS girls’ and boys’ varsity swim teams, with both squads losing a meet at Dover-Sherborn last Wednesday, bouncing back to beat Franklin last Thursday and then taking part in the Hockomock League Championships last Saturday. Both squads came in sixth out of nine teams at the Hockomock Championships, […]

Girls’ hoop outlasts Stoughton

It may have been Senior Night at Stoughton High last Friday night, but the CHS girls’ varsity basketball team was most concerned with having to defend a Stoughton sophomore.  When Canton played Stoughton on January 8, Chrystal Holland, the leading scorer for the Black Knights, dropped 20 points on the Bulldogs, leading Stoughton to a […]

Despite losses, girls’ hoop sees improvement

The CHS girls’ varsity basketball team ended its five-game home stand last week winless, but in facing the top five teams in the Hockomock League during this period, Canton did show the ability to keep games close — something this team was not able to do at the start of the season.  On a five-game […]

Canton High School swim teams thrive against Stoughton

The CHS girls’ and boys’ varsity swim teams kept their recent hot streaks going last Friday against Stoughton, with both squads downing the rival Black Knights. The girls won 88-73, improving to 4-5 on the season, and have won two of their last three meets.  The boys, now winners of three in a row, beat […]

Swim teams get back on track

For the last few weeks, members of the CHS girls’ and boys’ varsity swim teams have made plenty of individual progress, consistently improving their respective times in the pool. But these personal achievements did not always translate to team-wide success.  It did last Friday, however, as both teams faced Norton and Foxboro at Wheaton College. […]

CHS girls’ basketball falls short against league rivals

In the first two games of the season, the CHS girls’ varsity basketball team lost to Mansfield by 23 points and to Sharon by 33 points. Last week the Bulldogs got a chance to avenge these losses, and while the rematches were much more competitive, the results were just the same — two Canton losses. […]

Local realtors believe the time to buy is now

Administrative assistant Susan McGowan an asset to the school system

Editors note: The following is the fourth in a series of occasional spotlights on Canton’s town employees, conceived as a way to honor the important work of our many public servants, a number of whom rarely, if ever, get the recognition they deserve. Therefore, over the course of the next several months, the Citizen will […]

Swimmers continue to make strides

The CHS varsity girls’ and boys’ swim teams were not able to pick up victories last week in meets against King Philip or Mansfield, but as has been the case throughout the course of the season, many swimmers were able to make individual strides. The girls lost 93-75 against KP last Wednesday and lost 91-71 […]
