A look at what is happening around the region.
Synagogues in Stoughton, Brockton, Randolph Looking to Merge A Tri-Congregational Discussion on Regionalization for three local synagogues was held on Thursday, Feb. 14 at Temple Beth Emunah in Brockton. Representatives of Ahavath Torah Congregation in Stoughton and Temple Beth Am in Randolph also attended the meeting, which attracted over 250 interested parties. The plan, still in the discussion phase, is for these three temples to merge into one congregation and use an interim site (Temple Beth Emunah) until a new building is constructed. The recommendation to merge, and begin attending services at the interim location in July of 2014 is not finalized. Each of the temple’s congregations still needs to vote on the plan. The vote is …

Take a look at a video of Middleton scoring his 1000th career point in the media gallery of this article. *** Needing four points to become the 14th player in school history - boy or girl - to score 1,000 career points, Stoughton High boys' basketball senior captain Marcus Middleton stole the ball twice in the first quarter Sunday night against Boston Latin and both times headed to the hoop for an uncontested layup. The first steal came about a minute and a half into the game, which led to an easy layup, giving Middleton 998 career points. The second steal came with 1:57 left in the first quarter.

The #4 Black Knights trailed by eight points midway through the fourth, but came back to defeat #13 Duxbury, 69-63, Tuesday night in the opening round of the MIAA Division 2 South Sectional boys’ basketball tournament.
Trailing in the middle of the fourth quarter, Stoughton’s two best players each stepped up to do what they do best. Junior guard Aaron Calixte scored 13 of his game-high 31 points in the final frame, while classmate Marcus Middleton provided “the best defense” Stoughton head coach John Gallivan has ever seen in Stoughton’s gym. Despite falling behind as much as 8 points late in the game, the fourth-seeded Black Knights boys’ basketball team stormed back to knock of #13 Duxbury, 69-63, in the first round of the MIAA Division 2 South Sectional boys’ basketball tournament, Tuesday night. “Offensively it was Aaron of course,” Gallivan said of what sparked the comeback. “Defensively, Marcus turned that game around putting that kind of ball …

The Stoughton High Black Knights boys’ basketball team (16-4) hosts Duxbury (11-9) in a first round matchup in the MIAA Division 2 South Sectional Tournament.
The Duxbury High boys’ basketball team may only be 11-9, but Stoughton coach John Gallivan said the Dragons are “probably the hottest team in Division 2 South right now,” having won six of seven, including a 68-55 win over Oliver Ames in the regular season finale. The Black Knights (16-4), the #4 seed in the Division 2 South Sectional bracket, will host Duxbury, the #13 seed, Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Stoughton High. It’s a game that will feature Stoughton’s speed going up against Duxbury’s height—four of the five players in Duxbury’s starting five are 6’3 or 6’4. Stoughton’s tallest player, Antonio Ferreira, is 6’3. Gallivan said he expects to face a well-coached, well-disciplined team. Once ravaged by injuries, Duxbury, by all accounts, is …

The Black Knights edged the Warriors 73-69 on the road Tuesday night, coming away with the win in a battle of 9-1 teams.
The objective was simple for the Stoughton High boys’ basketball team: play the whole game. After giving up the lead against Mansfield and almost letting Oliver Ames come back earlier this season, falling asleep was not going to be an option against King Philip. “All we talked about is [playing] 32 minutes or more if we have to,” Stoughton head coach John Gallivan said. In a jammed pack KP gym, the Black Knights walked away with an important win. With both schools’ fans bringing the noise, it was the Stoughton fans who had the last laugh Tuesday night. “It feels good, really good. We came to their home court, they had a crazy crowd and we shut them up,” Stoughton guard Aaron Calixte said. Stretching the lead to 11 late in the game, the …

A Q&A with the Stoughton High junior basketball captain (from the Hockomock Sports Blog).
Coming off a football season where Stoughton High’s Marcus Middleton caught six touchdown passes (third best in the Hockomock League) and added two scores on the ground for the Black Knights, the junior turns his attention to basketball season, where he and classmate Aaron Calixte will form one of the best guard combos in league. Middleton is a threat on both ends of the floor for the boys’ varsity basketball team. He was the team’s third leading scorer last season, behind Calixte and Kris Joyce with 12 points per game. But Middleton is best known as being the team’s lockdown defender. He, along with Calixte and junior Joe Bunce-Grenon are the team’s captains for this upcoming basketball season. Stoughton shared the Davenport title with …

Sorry about that Jeff, but most impressed that you take note and respond. Just my 2 cents, but I just don't see how someone shot in Attleboro is in anyway pertinent to local Stoughton news. I don't even think I read that piece in the Globe? Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I perceive the Patch as local access news/information and Attleboro must be 20 miles and 4 towns distant. more ›
