March 2nd Games

Alvirne scored 49 in the first half and ran away with it vs. Winnacunnet...I tweeted this earlier...but this is pretty much par for the course for a Bronco squad....it's playoff time - time to turn it on.

Seeds 1-12 are set. The Dover/Exeter result will determine the 13 through 16 seeds.

looks like

Bg vs Merrimack

if Alvirine won

Dover won in OT 69-65

I just heard it will be #7 Merrimack vs #10 BG in a prelim game. I'm sure Migs is ecstatic over this development.

Floras was out tonight with the bum ankle, but I'm sure it was just precautionary to give him rest for the playoffs. That could mean choppy waters for the SS Guertin.

Here it is (I believe):
1 Trinity
2 Salem
3 North
4 Central
5 Pinkerton
6 Spaulding
7 Merrimack
8 Alvirne
9 South
10 BG
11 West
12 Memorial
13 Winnacunnet
14 Londonderry
15 Dover
16 Exeter

I might be starting to feel the upset of the prelim games:

#14 Londonderry over #3 North !!!!

Alvirne hosting South in the 8 v 9 game should be a tight pick em game.

Trinity will have all they can handle with either South or Alvirne in the quarterfinal game at Trinity.

If the seeds hold out and Salem hosts Merrimack in the 2 v 7 game, well, that'll be an all out war.

As a #6, Spaulding has a draw they could get to UNH with- they've beat #11 West already, split with #3 North, and beat #2 Salem...

Justin, Spaulding does look good as the #6 seed in their bracket, but darn the quarterfinal home game unless........ My Lancers upset North and Spaulding beats West, then I ride a Londonderry horse into Rochester to root for the Lancers against your Red Raiders.

GNG would be in back of my horse to catch the droppings.

This scenario for the quarterfinals would be EPIC.

Dave Haley from NHSportspage.com joins me and Marc Thaler from 7-9am on "The NH High School Sports Show" on WGIR-AM 610 in Manchester and 96.7FM on the seacoast. Salem coach Rob McGlaughin will be our guest at 7:15am for you early risers. Also talking NH High School hockey playoffs with Dover Green Wave senior Liam Murphy (8:35am)and Merrimack coach Kurt Mithoefer(7:35am).

Ben Slepian had 32 points in the Salem victory over BG.

Matt Barr had 36 in the Exeter OT loss to Dover.

Slepian UNBELIEVABLE.

How could that kid have bee on th jv team as a junior?

Best player I have seen this season.

Well, there are late bloomers in life, as far as Slepian goes. One has to look no further than GNG to see a classic case of a "Late Bloomer."

It's a great example of why coaches put Juniors on JV. It's not a slight to the player, most times the situation dictates the need for playing time - anticipating a productive Senior year. Sitting on the varsity bench does the player no good. Glad to see Slepian having success.
