Football rewind: Week 5
Scott Knight could tell there was something extra in his Nashua High School South football team while it was warming up before Friday night's 41-7 win over Concord. The Panthers looked quick in the pregame and Knight thought that it was going to be a good night if it carried over into the game. "I watched us warming up and said if we play [...]
Souhegan’s Ginnard battles back from injury
The play looked like any other during the course of a high school football game Portsmouth quarterback Nate Jones dropped back and threw to Billy Lane, who made the catch despite a leaping effort by Souhegan’s Colin Ginnard to knock the ball down. Lane sprinted to the end zone to give the Clippers a 14-12 lead in the first half of last [...]
Athlete of the Week: Bemis leading Sabers to the top
Kelsea Bemis has been a force for the Souhegan High School girls soccer team this season. In many ways, the Sabers have needed it.

Pigskin Prophets: Week 5
Hard to believe its Week 5 already, but it is and that means its time to start thinking of the playoffs. A few games around the state could go a long way to deciding the postseason field in Division I (Nashua North-Salem, Concord-Nashua South), Division II (Merrimack-Timberlane) and Division III (Milford-Portsmouth, Con-Val-Bedford). Our group of [...]
Spartans, Clippers set for another showdown
As nice as it was for Keith Jones to see his Milford High School football team holding a big lead over Con-Val at halftime, the Spartans coach wanted to see more. Jones wanted to see his defense do something after halftime, which was something it had struggled to do in the team’s previous three games. But this time, the defense pulled [...]
Senior Year: Luks helping Souhegan pick up where it left off
Mike Luks has had plenty of others to learn from as a member of the Souhegan High School football team. There was his older brother, Jameson, who was the starting center as a senior when the Sabers won the Division III championship two years ago. There was also last year’s quarterback, DJ Petropulous, an all-state performer who helped [...]
Bulldogs too much for Spartans
BEDFORD – It would be no surprise if Carley Pestana left the Milford High School girls soccer team with a feeling of déjà vu. The Bedford senior scored two goals in the second half on two similar shots to lead the Bulldogs to a 4-1 win over the Spartans Tuesday in Division II action. On both goals, Pestana found herself with just enough [...]
Souhegan beats Con-Val to stay undefeated

Football rewind: Week 4
Tony Johnson expected it would take more than one player to replace injured running back Mike Kelly, and so far, the Bishop Guertin High School football coach has been right. Playing their second full game without Kelly, the Cardinals got 186 yards rushing and touchdown from Alex Eaton in a 28-3 win over Merrimack in Division II action last [...]
