Jerry Sandusky is serving a 30 to 60 year sentence for being convicted of sexually abusing 10 different boys. His wife, Dottie, still believes that he is an innocent man despite the number of alleged victims who have come forth. She keeps believing that these victims were manipulated into coming forth by lawyers that promised them financial gain. Even if this were the case, Sandusky has finally been brought to justice. Either his wife knew something, and lied, or she was completely oblivious to her husbands 'extra-curricular' activities. 26 alleged victims have come forth, and while he probably did not abuse everyone single one of them, he is by no means an innocent man and his wife seems to simply be in denial. Even if showering with boys was 'just a part of his generation', raping them was not, and it is good to see that he will not be able to do it again for the rest of his life.

32 year old Patriots Defensive Tackle Vince Wilfork is coming off a torn Achilles suffered earlier in the season. Wilfork is projected to make $7.5 million next season, and the Patriots have approached him about altering his contract. Doing so would help lessen the burden of an $11.6 million salary cap hit. If agreements cannot be made, do you believe that the Patriots would consider cutting him?

The Lancers Success

The Norton High school football team had a great year finishing with a strong record of 8-3. Also they went 4-0 in the league making them the TVL Small champions. On Thanksgiving, the Norton High team faced off against the Bellingham Blackhawks, coming away with yet another Thanksgiving Day win. The Lancers advanced to the MIAA division 4 playoffs, but fell short to Apponequet Regional at home in a disappointing loss. 

The 2013 football season started out strong for the Lancers. Led by coach Currle, they beat Scituate in one of the most exciting games of the season. Scituate played a good game getting the lead in the 4th quarter. The Lancers needed a touchdown with a minute left to win the game, and on a clutch play, quarterback Mike Ready completed a touchdown pass to Matt Hines winning the game 28-27. Later in the season, the Lancers had a home conference game against TVL foe Dover-Sherborn. This would end up being the Lancers most commanding win of the season as they completed the game 49-20, scoring 20 points in the first quarter alone. Norton continued to dominate the TVL Small, going 3-0 against Dover Sherborn, Bellingham, and Ashland. Then in a home game against Millis/Hopedale, with the TVL Small championship on the line Norton dominated. The Lancers made very few mistakes in the game, and dominated on both side of the ball, scoring 29 points, and holding the Mohawks to only 6. The game sealed in Norton’s undefeated run in the TVL Small. This advanced the Lancers to the division 4 playoffs as TVL Small champions. 

The Lancers won eight games, but they did lose three. Their first loss of the season was to Medway high school, in which they they fell 28 – 13. Norton went on to go undefeated from there, until the first game of the playoffs, where they came up short in a dissapointing loss to Apponequet Regional high school. They also fell short in the next game away in Hanover. However, three losses is not a bad record, and it is a certain improvement from the previous year. The prvious season, the Lancers had a record of 6 wins, 5 losses.

The 2013 football season was a great success for Norton high school, but there is plenty of room to improve. The team would ultimately finish the season with an impressive record of 8-3. Qaurterback Mike Ready was awarded the TVL Small MVP, and linebacker Mike Travers was awarded the TVL Small defensive player of the year. TVL all stars on the team include: Matt Hines, Mike Ready, Tony Giglio, Mike Travers, Brad Wry, and George Reese. The teams senior captains, Mike Ready, Mike Travers, Tony Giglio, and Brad Wry each had a great season, as well as Matt Hines who was a huge playmaker at both wide receiver, and running back. The seniors were great, but now the teams younger players need to step up, and fill the positions that have been emptied. Hard Work in this years offseason will ultimately determine wheter or not the Norton Lancers will have a good season again.
