A note from Coach May for the middle school future all stars

Hello Norton Wrestlers!

Sorry to those of you who are now in HS and should not be receiving the email, please ignore it.

To all MS and Yelle wrestlers- I hope everyone is off to a great school year and looking forward to spending time with friends and family over the Thanksgiving holiday. I also hope everyone is excited for another great wrestling season!

As you know I will not be coaching this year, but the program will be in good hands with a Norton Wrestling Alum- Devin Santangelo. Devin was one of the first wrestlers I coached on the MS team and was a Captain on Varsity later on.

There will be a pre-season meeting tonight at the MS Cafeteria at 6pm. Coach Santangelo will introduce himself, review the sport of wrestling, go over a tentative schedule and transportation logistics, and a typical meet setup. All in all, it doesn't look like there will be too many changes to how we have done things in the past.

While I won't be coaching this year, I will still be around to help answer any questions. I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and good luck this season!

Coach May

Shout out to Sophomore Captain Dillan Mueller. We wish Dillian luck at All States. Dillan advanced to the 2024 MIAA All State Wrestling Tournament in Salem by placing 5th (132lbs) at D3 States last weekend in Wakefield.

Great news!!

One of our Legendary Alumni has continued his dominance at the college level.

Gabe Thomasson, last year's D-3 state champ and all-state finalist for the Lancers, has qualified to wrestle in the national junior college championships on May 1 in Iowa!
Gabe will represent the Nassau College (NY) Lions at 184 lbs.

Good luck Gabe!

Congratulations to the Lancer Wrestlers on another great showing. The Team had a lot of success at todays D3 Sections - advancing to D3 States will be Dillon Mueller (132) who came in second, Gavin Luciano (175) and Tyler Wiencus (190) who came in 4th, and falling just short of advancing to D3 states is James Coates and Kayden Plumb who both came in 6th place today. Great job, Norton!

Middle school working hard to be next years next man up! Greatness in the making.

From Coach May,
Last night our Junior Lancers traveled to Bellingham to face off with a small, but tough group of wrestlers. The progress we are making was clearly shown in how we wrestled last night with pins from Beaton, McIntyre, Berkeley, and Buck, and a major decision by Bennett. Bratton, Santangello, and Cooper wrestled tough but came up short on points. Trevor wrestled a very good wrestler and stayed with him the whole match. He almost got a pin, if only he had a few more seconds in the period. Carter wrestled one of his best matches this season, but unfortunately did wind up getting pinned. If we were keeping team score for the matches we wrestled, we would have won 28-19. Pins are 6 team points, and a major decision (win by 8-14 points) is 4 team points. A win by points only is 3 team points.

We did have some Norton vs Norton wrestling as well, and we also saw improvements in our wrestling during these matches. Unfortunately, Kennedy and Seth did not get a match and I apologize for that. It was a miscommunication between myself and their coach.

We showed a great team effort and let's continue to finish out the season strong

Last opportunity to see the Norton Wrestling team at home this Saturday, 10am start - come on out for a quad against Nashoba Regional, Brockton and Silver Lake! They hit the road to Norwood next week.
