The All-Pro Patriots Celebrity Basketball Team took on the Stoughton Police All-Stars in a charity game to benefit the Stoughton Police Relief Association.
Last year it was quarterback Brian Hoyer who led the Patriots to victory past the Stoughton Police with a barrage of three-pointers. In this year's game, with Hoyer absent, it was another of Tom Brady's backups, Ryan Mallett, who stole the show, using his height advantage (listed at 6'6") to get dunk after dunk. The All-Pro Patriots Celebrity Basketball Team earned a 79-46 victory over the Stoughton Police All-Stars Friday night, May 18, before a capacity crowd at the Stoughton High School gymnasium. The game benefited the Stoughton Police Relief Association.

The Stoughton High softball team lost at Attleboro, and can’t finish with a record above .500, but can still qualify for the postseason by finishing first or second in the Hockomock’s Davenport Division.
Tough times continue for the Stoughton High softball team, but its postseason aspirations remain alive entering the final week of the regular season. The Black Knights lost at Attleboro 10-1 Friday afternoon, suffering their fifth consecutive defeat, and their second loss this season to the Bombardiers. With only three games remaining, and an overall record of 6-10, Stoughton can’t finish the season at or above the .500 mark, which is an automatic bid to the postseason. The only other way Stoughton can qualify for a berth to the postseason is to finish in first or second place in the Hockomock League’s Davenport Division (small schools). Currently, Oliver Ames is 6-5 in divisional play and holds the top spot with one league game remaining …

Stoughton falls 2-0 at home to OA, despite another well-pitched game from Mike Dixon.
The Stoughton High Baseball team was in action Monday afternoon against Oliver Ames, the leader of the Davenport Division.
