A Brief
Bulldog
History
|
Michael Pietro and
Michael Devoll- '96 |
| |
| The Canton High
School Boys' Varsity Soccer team began in 1984 under
head coach Steve Deneno. After one season, Deneno
handed the reigns over to George Gianaloudis.
Gianaloudis built the program into a competitor in
the Hockomock League. The 1985 season saw the first
Bulldog on the All-Hockomock League team as defender
Chris Conway (class of '86) was honored. In 1988,
the squad qualified for the MIAA state tournament for
the first time in its young history. |
Coach Gianaloudis with team
captains Jamie Goodrich, Jeff Gaboury and Andy Morgan
in 1985. |
1993 saw the coaching duties taken over by
Danny Erickson (class of '89). |
| |
|
Richie Daniels- '98 |
In the past 15
years, the Bulldogs have become a power in Eastern
Mass. Soccer.
In that time period the team has:
- won SIX Hockomock League Championships (1997, 2006, 2008, 2009,
and the Davenport Division Championship in 2010 and 2011)
- Won the Hockomock Classic Cup in 2010
& 2011
- qualified for 13 State Tournaments
- advanced to the Sectional Final
three times (2010, 2007
and 2002)
- advanced to the Sectional Semi-Final
eight times
(1997, 2002, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011).

The Big 3 Deep Tournament Runs
2010
The 2010
side made history in several ways including going
undefeated in the regular season and then advancing
to the EMASS Final for the first time in program
history. The 'dogs were seeded #2 behind fellow
undefeated Sandwich.
A 4-1 first round win over #18 Milton kicked off the
tourney run, followed by a 1-0 win over #7 Hopkinton.
A 1-0 win over #11 Duxbury in the Sectional Semi
marked the Bulldogs' 5th consecutive season in the
Semi's. The first ever Sectional Championship came in
a dramatic 9 round penalty shootout over #1 Sandwich.
The run ended in the EMASS final against defending
State Champion Concord-Carlisle, 2-0.
2007
After graduating 9 starters from the Hock
Championship team, the team posted an impressive
7-5-5 regular season record and qualified for the
Tourney with a #12 seed. The tournament starting
eleven included- 5 juniors and 3 sophomores. A
3-1 win over #5 Holliston was followed by a
Quarter-final win over a tough #13 Bishop Stang team,
2-1. The team then faced #1, undefeated Medfield and
after playing to a 2-2 draw, won a penalty shoot-out
to advance to the final. The #10 seeded Sharon Eagles
finally stopped the upstart squad in the final, 4-2.
2002
After a disappointing
8-8-2 regular season record, the squad entered the
South Sectional Tournament as the #19 seed (out of 21
teams). That's when the fun began. On its way to the
Championship game, the underdog Bulldogs ousted #14
seeded Medfield, #6 seeded Somerset, #3 seeded
Hingham, and #2 seeded Dighton-Rehoboth, before
facing the top-seeded and undefeated Duxbury Dragons.
A tremendous first half of play in the Final left the
game scoreless at the break. But two quick Duxbury
goals in the beginning of the second half proved to
be too much for the Bulldogs to recover from.
