The Stoughton High boys' basketball team picked up its first win of the season Tuesday at Sharon, improving to 1-1 on the young season.
Revenge. Although the Eagles fly into the basketball season on a high after the football team won the Division 3 Super Bowl, the Knights (many of whom are also football players) felt the pain of one of the best seasons in school history slip through their hands. Unfortunately for Sharon that was the gridiron, and this was the basketball court, and the Knights were determined to come out of Sharon this time, with a win. Tuesday night in Eagle country, the Stoughton High basketball team came away with a 63-54 win, improving to 1-1 on the young season, while Sharon falls to 0-2.

The Norfolk County District Attorney's Office sponsored a three-day basketball camp for Stoughton Youth, which drew a number of guest speakers.
About two dozen Stoughton youth, ranging in age from third grade to eighth grade, recently took part in a three-day basketball camp sponsored by the Norfolk County District Attorney’s office in partnership with the Stoughton Recreation Department. The cost of the camp was only $10, essentially the cost of the t-shirt given to the children. The funding for the camp came from a unique source - forfeiture police confiscate from drug dealers, including cash, cars and sometimes even homes. The forfeiture helps to fund this camp as well as other drug preventative programs in the county. "The bad people in Norfolk County paid for the fun," Norfolk County District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey told the attendees of the camp. The skills-oriented …
