Boys Basketball: Bulldogs Fall to Black Knights 73-53

Stoughton becomes first ever Davenport Division champions.

At the beginning of the season, Stoughton Head Coach John Gallivan said one of the team’s goals was to become the first ever Davenport Division champions and on Tuesday night, they did just that, routing Canton High, 73-53. With the Bulldogs up 14-13 in the final seconds of the first quarter, Stoughton’s Marcus Middleton drained a three pointer from the corner to put the Black Knights up 16-14, and they never trailed again. “I thought that the team responded in the second half to some of the complaints that I had about our style of play,” Gallivan said. “I thought we were soft in terms of defending the paint and I thought we were very soft in terms of attacking the offensive glass.” Middleton, a sophomore captain, fueled the Black Knights …

After posting a 0-9-1 season, the Bulldogs are hoping to earn their first win of the season in Thursday's Thanksgiving Day showdown against the Black Knights.
