Spartans wilt in opener

Pembroke Academy vs. Alvirne High School

PEMBROKE - Their green jerseys had turned a darker shade, and the Pembroke Spartans had to watch on the scoreboard as the game got more and more out of hand. Ninety-degree weather and a small roster makes for a bad combination in football. Yesterday, Pembroke saw that for itself. The Division III Spartans lost their… 0

A national record!

Generally speaking, it's hard to feel too great when the out-of-town team beats the local kids. Last Thursday's baseball game at Pembroke Academy was something of an exception. Pembroke lost, alas, but in doing so the Spartans made it possible for Portsmouth High School to set a national record: 76 wins in a row - the most ever for a high school team. The stats are impressive… 0

Sabers upset Spartans

PEMBROKE - It was the kind of game the Pembroke Academy boys' basketball team expected and wanted. Open shots and clean looks, by the dozens. It was the result it didn't anticipate and feared. Almost all of those shots clanged off the rim, bounced off the backboard or missed the net entirely. In the meantime, the No. 10 Souhegan Sabers rallied, going on a second-half surge… 0

Zoning out

Pembroke vs. Coe-Brown boys basketball

PEMBROKE - Dave Smith didn't want to play zone. He just felt Pembroke Academy didn't leave him much choice. "We're not a zone team, but if you want to play them man-to-man and lose 100-2, that's fine," said Smith, the long-time Coe-Brown coach, tongue firmly in cheek. "I think playing… 0

Cullerot reaches 1,000

Cullerot

WEARE - Katie Cullerot wanted to get it out of the way. So did Coach Wayne Thomson. Mission accomplished. Cullerot needed just over five minutes to become the third John Stark girls' basketball player to reach 1,000 points, a feat that highlighted the Generals' 58-23 victory over Pembroke last night. "It's… 0

Spartans refuse to go quietly

PEMBROKE - There wasn't much meaning to yesterday's Division III regular-season finale between Portsmouth and Pembroke. It had no playoff implications - Portsmouth was already in and was set to play Milford, win or lose, in the first round. However, somebody forgot to tell Spartan Coach Dave Tremblay's boys. Portsmouth (6-3) took care of business as expected, 33-20, but paid the… 0

Miscues doom Spartans

PEMBROKE - The nightmare continued yesterday for the Pembroke Academy football team, which fell to 0-6. It wasn't so much that the Spartans lost to Division III-leading Souhegan (5-1) - that was hardly unexpected. It wasn't even so much the lopsided 54-7 beating that the Spartans took that pained Coach Dave Tremblay. It was the mistakes on the field, which seemed to come… 0

Cavaliers too much to handle

Pembroke Football

PEMBROKE - When their backs were against the wall, the Spartans refused to cave, they fought and they produced some nice results. The problem was, and it was a major problem, their backs were against the wall for most of the game. Visiting Hollis-Brookline (1-1) scored on its first two drives and marched to a 34-0… 0

Spartans, 'Cats set for showdown

It's fitting that Pembroke Academy and Oyster River will be paired together tonight at 6 p.m. in the Class I semifinals at the University of New Hampshire's Lundholm Gymnasium. Not only have these two teams shared similar seasons, they also have similar strengths. No. 2 Pembroke (18-2) started the year a pedestrian… 0
