Jan. 25th Games

Exeter at Spaulding: Kind of a rivalry game. Heh, I'm doing my best because I really have to search for nice matchups tonight.


Winny at Merrimack: Big game for determining home court advantage in a prelim playoff game.


Souhegan at John Stark: Nice D2 game.

Girl's side:

Londonderry at North: The Lady Titans try to maintain a hold on their top seed tie with the Lady Astros.

Spaulding vs Exeter. Memorial vs Keene. Londonderry vs Nashua North. Concord vs Bedford. Dover vs Timberlane. Salem vs Manchester West. Salem won the game by 9 by a score of 63-54. Merrimack vs Winnacunnet. Pinkerton Academy vs Manchester Central.

We've got a good D3 Girls matchup tonight on WTSN - Somersworth (8-2) vs Bishop Brady (9-1) . Rachel Hill scores about a billion points a game for Somersworth, and Basketball is her "Other" sport.

I will be at Pinkerton Academy-Manchester Central game.

Merrimack and Winny are in OT.

2nd OT game for Merrimack this week.

Milford pulled a bit of an upset tonight. 54-48 over Pelham. They never trailed, biggest lead was about 11 but was right around 7-9 all night. Pelham would go on runs and close the gap and at one point got it to 1, but they never were able to finish off the run and take the lead. Solid win for the Spartans.

That is an upset, Bigman.

Merrimack beat Winny in OT.


Final Central 70 Pinkerton 52. Pinkerton was up 42 to 32 in the 3rd AND Pelletier had 4 fouls. The wheels then fell off the Pinkerton basketball bus.

Goffstown 67 Lebanon 64. Now, this is an upset.

Londonderry girls beat North in a big one 65 to 48.

Londonderry beat North 52-51. Londonderry got out early to a good sized lead but North kept battling back and 8 pts is the largest Quarter Deficit. Londonderry scored only 8 pts in the 4th Quarter (and North scored 15 in the 4th) as North kept pressuring, getting steals and also kept getting fouled away from the basket. Coach Gustavson also called Timeouts in the Backcourt during the press 3 times when he might've been able to use those later. With 19.2 seconds left (TO called by Gustavson after a scramble on a Halfcourt trap/looseball) out of a Timeout, Londonderry whiffed the inbound pass, giving North the opportunity to win. North got a shot but out of bounds with 2 seconds left. North couldn't convert and score on the inbound and Londonderry won 52-51.

Entertaining but ugly
