Wrentham 9/11 Memorial Unveiled in Front of Town Hall On September 11, 2001, Troy Neubrecker was only four years old. What he remembers of that day is very little as for someone that young to understand what happened that day is near impossible. “I remember my parents telling me, that’s about it,” Neubrecker said. 11 years later and with a much greater appreciation of the tragedy that comes with growing up and maturity, the young 15 year old from Wrentham stood in front of Town Hall to unveil the 9/11 Memorial that he fundraised over $22,000 for.

Mustangs Drop Game Against Rival Dedham

Marauders come out on top in the second clash with Norwood this season.

It didn’t take long for Sean O’Neill to put the Mustangs on the board last night at Dedham, but that 2-0 lead would be Norwood’s biggest, and last, of the night, as the Mustangs were outpaced by their archrivals, 60-38. “There’s no way to sugarcoat it. They beat us in every facet of the game,” Norwood coach Rich Cormier said. “I’m disappointed for the kids. I know how hard they worked, and we are a better team than that.” The Mustangs kept it close throughout the first, but after that 14-11 quarter it was Dedham’s show.  The Marauders played strong and tough at both ends of the court, and had no problem finding the net at any point during the game.  “I was really pleased with the effort tonight, especially defensively,” said coach Ed …

Dedham opened the game in an aggressive 3-2 half-court zone, which gave Norwood’s O’Neil and Tommy Munro a tough time.
