Portsmouth makes jump in this week’s NHHSSports Boys Lacrosse Coaches Poll

The musical chairs that have been the bottom five spots in the poll changed once again as the last week of the boys lacrosse regular season begins.

Despite losing two games last week, Winnacunnet moves back into the poll, while Salem and Hopkinton – making its first appearance in the top 10 – tied for the final spot.
