This past Tuesday saw the 2017 Bulldog Boys Soccer season come to an abrupt and disappointing end at the hands of league rival Foxboro, as the Warriors downed the Bulldogs 4-1. After an amazing regular season that saw the Green & White post a 10-4-4 record and ride a six game unbeaten streak into the tournament, the Bulldogs hosted their league rival in front of a packed crowd at CHS's WWII Veterans' Memorial Field. Canton never quite got things going on the night while the Warriors were at their best. The 'dogs trailed for virtually the entire game. A Griffin Roach goal off a free-kick from 30 yards out cut the Foxboro lead to 2-1 mid-way through the 2nd half but the Warriors capitalized on an offensive-minded Canton team for the rest of the game- resulting in two more goals.
The 2017 season saw the Bulldogs take another huge step forward as a program. Special thanks go out to our 5 graduating seniors- each of whom made a major impact over their time here- each in their own way. Congratulations to Chris Milne, Abe Garber, Dillon Anderson, Jake Verille and John Agnitti for all of their hard work, sacrifice, commitment and leadership over their time here.
The Hockomock League recognized 3 players with special league honors. Paul Corcoran, who led the Hock in scoring, and Griffin Roach were both named Hockomock League All-Stars. Jake Verille was named to the Honorable Mention team. Griffin Roach was also recognized as an All-State player- the first Bulldog since 2014 to receive this honor.
The team also did it the right way......being honored by the Hockomock League as the team in the league that most exemplified good sportsmanship....and receiving a the very prestigious MIAA award for the same behavior.
Congratulations to all 23 members of the team, our coaches, managers, our JV squad and everyone else who contributed to this memorable year.
