Stoughton High School

The Stoughton High boys cross country team started off the season with a win over North Attleboro on Tuesday! The 27-28 victory (lower score wins), was Stoughton's first since 2020. Valdimar DePIna finished third overall, followed by Jacob Marques in fourth, and Will Borges in fifth. Quentin Simon came in seventh, and captain James Bettencourt came in eighth cementing the Stoughton win. If James did not edge the North Attleboro runner who placed ninth, North would have won. Meanwhile, the Stoughton girls cross country team lost to North Attleboro on Tuesday. Leah McCarty led Stoughton, finishing third overall. Senior Angie Berry finished fifth and Kirsten Alexson placed eighth for the Black Knights.

Students taking Drawing 2 at Stoughton High worked on a project making balloon letters with charcoal. Students photographed Mylar balloons of their initials, then drew them using a grid system.
