NASHUA – Once the playoffs start, there’s really only one goal for every team involved: survive and advance. 

Every time Wednesday night it looked like the Nashua High School South boys basketball team did just that, Merrimack put the Panthers right back into survival mode.

In the final minutes, No. 4 South ate enough clock and made enough free throws to outlast No. 13 Merrimack for a 55-49 win in a Division I preliminary-round game at the Belanger Gymnasium. The win means the Panthers will be back home for the quarterfinals Saturday, when they’ll host No. 5 Exeter, which defeated No. 12 Goffstown.
