Hockomocksports.com recently ran a feature by Josh Perry about Bentley soccer player Scott Levy and his former high school teammate and longtime friend Chris Murray, who plays for WPI.

From 2008 to 2011, the Canton boys' soccer team went on an incredible run that saw the Bulldogs take home four straight Hockomock League titles (including two Davenport crowns), reached four straight Div. 2 South semifinals, won the 2010 South title, went unbeaten for 42 straight games against league opponents and, maybe most impressive of all, went four years (from Oct. 2007 to Sept. 2012) without a single loss at World War II Veterans Memorial Field.

"Even now I stand in the locker room at Bentley and my buddies ask, you really didn't lose a game at home in high school?" said Scott Levy, one of the stars of that Canton team.

"I've sat in Coach [Danny] Erickson's office countless times and he's got all four of those plaques of us winning the Hock and winning the Davenport and we just sat there and are like, are you kidding me?"

Two of the main cogs in that four year run were Levy and his classmate and longtime friend Chris Murray, who remains the program's fourth all-time leading scorer with 18 goals and 34 assists. The pair started playing soccer, basketball and baseball in the Canton youth leagues (with tiny nets and reversible jerseys, according to Levy) and continued on the pitch together through club teams, soccer camps, and eventually donning the Canton green and white.
