Norton high's basketball team was weak this year. they ended the season with 8 wins and 10 losses, and did not make playoffs. The team itself is not bad, and one of the captains James Loring, who was the scoring leader had a pretty good season. they are fully capable of scoring good and setting good plays up but they are not aggressive enough. They are not physical enough and it seems they are scared to go up for contact and draw the fouls. Coach Liberatore has been coaching for years and does good at coaching these kids but since we go against the same teams every year, they have probably caught on to his coaching techniques.

Aaron Hernandez, once one of New England's favorite athletes, now one of the most known gang-banger in america. Hernandez has had a very hidden thug lifestyle behind his NFL fame. He has been known around in Boston, and Providence hanging out with blood gang members who do drugs and shoot guns for a living. He has been surrounded by this since a teen and he chooses to involve himself with these people, even when he had full opportunity to leave it all behind when he went pro and started making millions. Hernandez is in trial for killing one of his close friends, and also many more murders that seem to all lead back to Hernandez. Hernandez had photo proof that he owns a gun without a license, which is also being used against him. the only person that can be held responsible is Hernandez, he deserves spending time in jail because he clearly is involved in a lifestyle that a NFL player should not be caught up in. The country looks at Hernandez as an icon, kids buying his shirts,  and yet he decides to stay involved with people who will do nothing but get him caught up, this is nothing but his decision and should take full responsibility. at the rate the trials are going for Hernandez, he is most likely going to beat the case and walk free, after all the controversy, there doesn't seem to be enough proof to put him away.
