D-II final - No. 6 Souhegan 53, No. 5 Kearsarge 27

Stage fright

MANCHESTER - The Cougars wanted to muck up the game, to keep it slow, tight and defensive. They knew it was their best chance last night against Souhegan in the Division II girls' basketball title game. And Kearsarge's plan worked early as the defending champion Sabers held only a slim 7-4 lead after the first… 0

D-II semifinal - No. 5 Kearsarge 42, No. 9 Windham 40

Unlikely heroines

MANCHESTER - The starting forward sat out most of the game, the player of the game missed the final minutes and a guard who was shooting too poorly to even get first-half minutes was shooting the free throws to decide the Kearsarge girls' basketball team's season. These are the situations that are supposed… 0

Cougars left with bad taste

HANOVER - Last year the Cougars tasted perfection, an undefeated season and a state championship. And that taste made yesterday's last-minute, season-ending 33-27 semifinal loss to Windham all the more bitter. "Knowing how sweet it is to get to the state title game and win it in the end makes it that much harder to take it here," said Kearsarge's Zach Matthews,… 0

Kearsarge 13, Bow 3

Shifty scenario

BOW - The logical place for Parker Hansen and his speed was in the secondary. So that's where the defending 100-meter dash state champion spent the first two games for the Kearsarge defense. But when Hansen was moved from defensive back to defensive end during practice last week, he knew good things would follow.… 0

Cougars give Cardinals the boot

NORTH SUTTON - This was only the opener, but it had enough highs and lows and story lines for at least half of a season. It was the debut of two new head coaches and a meeting of two of Division V's favorites, including the defending champs. There were a pair of game-changing kickoff returns. The lead changed hands five times in the second half. And in the final six minutes… 0

Cougars can't complete rally

MANCHESTER - The Kearsarge girls' lacrosse team has made a habit of digging itself into an early hole. But, thanks to a relentless offensive attack, the Cougars have been able to climb out time and time again with relative ease. That, however, wasn't the case yesterday in the Division III semifinals at Southern New Hampshire University. Kearsarge allowed five goals in the first… 0

Hawks' aggression pays off

NASHUA - Brooks Wood had a choice to call timeout or press forward. For the hard-charging Hopkinton senior, it wasn't much of a choice at all. Wood took Hopkinton's first possession in overtime straight to the cage under the lights at Stellos Stadium, and the result was a game-winning goal, a trip to the Division… 0
