Division I
DOVER — More often than not nowadays, you see coaches trying to mold a style of play based on the players they have. That is not and never has been the case for Tim Goodridge-led Merrimack High School boys basketball team. Goodridge coaches his Tomahawks to be patient on offense and stingy on defen
Division I
PORTSMOUTH — It was an up-and-down kind of night for the Portsmouth High School boys basketball on Friday. Following Tuesday’s loss to Exeter in a measuring-stick game, the Clippers’ chances for a bounceback win ranged from promising to “wait and see” at different points throughout the night. The
Division I
LONDONDERRY - The Division I football season has been defined by the sheer dominance of Londonderry High School. Folks have had their own opinions on where the Lancers might slip up in their schedule, but Londonderry has proved everyone wrong week in and week out. That was the case again on Saturda
Division I
LONDONDERRY - It’s been a year to remember for the Londonderry High School football team and it does not appear the Lancers have intentions on ending the run without a Division I championship. That was all but clear in Saturday’s D1 quarterfinal round, where the Lancers dismantled rival Pinkerton A
Division I
DERRY - Playoff football came a week early for a pair of Division I clubs on Friday. It was a do-or-die scenario between Pinkerton and Bedford in their regular-season finale, as the winner would extend their season to next weekend’s opening round of the D1 postseason. It took the unlikely combinati
Division I
LONDONDERRY - Dominance can be boiled down to simple math. As simple as 320-73. That’s the total points the Londonderry High School football team has amassed versus how many its given up this season. That total includes another drubbing on Friday night, as the Lancers remained undefeated and unriva

BEDFORD - A matchup of undefeated teams typically offers the makings for quite the gutter war. It’s what most fans, coaches and players expected with Friday’s Division I football showdown between the Londonderry and Bedford high school teams. The contest did not meet expectations, though, thanks to
Division I
MERRIMACK - A lot of the Division I high school football talk has focused on Bedford, Exeter and most contending clubs in the South Conference. While it's certainly not being overlooked, the Merrimack High School football team is somewhat lost in that line of contenders. The Tomahawks made their ca
Division I
HAMPTON - Efficiency on both sides of the ball, offensive production from multiple players and a near shutout from the defense. Dante Laurendi couldn’t have drawn up a better season opener for the Nashua High School North football team. The Titans scored all their points before Winnacunnet could e
Division I
MANCHESTER - Londonderry High School baseball’s Nolan Lincoln was not a household name entering the 2019 baseball season. The junior pitcher had no varsity innings to his name, which left Londonderry coach Brent Demas with no real expectations about what Lincoln was capable of contributing. It tur
Division I
NASHUA - How a team responds to adversity, no matter when it arrives in a game, can be the difference between a win or a loss. The choice to rise or fall came early for the Londonderry High School baseball team came early in Tuesday’s Division I semifinal against Concord, and the Lancers did not sh
Division I
NASHUA - When two high school pitchers are locked in like Bedford’s Trevor Anibal and Portsmouth’s Ryan Minckler were on Tuesday, you get the feeling it’s going to take something incredible or crazy to break a stride. The latter ended up playing to the sixth-seeded Bulldogs’ favor, as they used a l
