Player of the Week: JT Norton, Canton Football

JT Norton
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Canton senior JT Norton has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Sept. 1 through Sept. 7. Norton is the first athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year.

Norton had total command of the Canton offense on Friday night in Franklin, completing 20-of-32 passes for 350 yards and three touchdowns, as the Bulldogs rolled to a 34-0 victory in the season opener. It was Canton’s first win against Franklin since 1990, ending a string of 18 straight wins for the Panthers (the teams hadn’t played since 2011, when the league split into two divisions).

“He’s special,” Canton coach Anthony Fallon said about Norton following the Franklin win. “He’s got complete control of the offense. He sees the field well. After the first couple of series, I thought he was pulling it down too quick so I told him, you might have to take a shot tonight, and he did, he took a couple, stood up, and he’s a heck of a ball player. “

The Bulldogs made an instant statement, marching 80 yards on the opening possession of the game to take a 7-0 lead. Norton was 4-of-6 on the opening drive and fired a 17-yard touchdown to classmate Jake Marcell to open the scoring. With 4:23 left in the half, Norton again connected with Marcell, this time on a deep pass down the middle into a seam in the coverage that turned into a 65-yard score. Leading 21-0 in the third quarter, Norton would get his third TD, this time a 3-yard pass to Thomas Rose. His best throw of the night came midway through the fourth quarter when he rolled out to his left on third and 10 and threw a strike across his body 40 yards downfield to Chris Pirrera, which led to another Canton TD.
