MANCHESTER — Everyone knows that former Nashua High School North linebacker Jack Krulowski has always been the ultimate gamer. Thus it was no surprise that he showed up for Team West’s CHaD football practice the other day, even though he’s still not cleared to play following surgery after he tore his ACL and meniscus in Week 6 of last year’s football season at Bedford. Ouch. “I’ll be here with my friends,” said Krulowski, who is one of the team captains. He didn’t think he’d be named to the team because of his injury but Merrimack and Team West head coach […]

She was disappointed when her Souhegan High School girls tennis team lost to Portsmouth in the Division II finals last week, but Callie Perrin vowed to make up for it in the individual singles and doubles tourneys. Well, the Sabers senior did part of that on Tuesday, beating Bedford freshman Alaina Barascout 6-3, 7-6 (7-4 tiebreaker) in the NHIAA Girls Singles Finals at the Southern New Hampshire University courts.

MANCHESTER – It looked like it was in the Cards. The Bishop Guertin High School girls tennis team was primed for a Division I semifinal upset of No.2 Derryfield, especially when the Cardinals were able to split singles with the Cougars. But, alas, it wasn’t to be. Derryfield is 14-1 for a reason, the hosts captured two of the three doubles matches to advance to Wednesday’s finals vs. Bedford. Guertin hadn’t lost in nearly two months, riding a 13-match win streak, and when No.4 singles senior Lydia Miller pulled out an 8-6 tiebreaker win (9-8) over Derryfield’s Pola Jankowska, Guertin […]

BEDFORD – Former Republican State Sen. Andy Sanborn agreed to plead guilty, on May 26, to theft of government funds in connection with the $844,000 that he unlawfully received from the U.S. Small Business Administration in COVID-19 relief funding. According to the Attorney General's Office, Sanborn, who owned Concord Casino at the time, received the money in 2020 by misrepresenting the casino's gross receipts by approximately $1 million. Since casinos and charitable gaming organizations did not qualify for COVID-19 relief, Sanborn chose not include the business name on the funding application. Rather, he wrote “miscellaneous services” in its place. After […]

NASHUA – There’s always a little something special going on when the Bishop Guertin High School boys lacrosse team takes on Bedford. But Tuesday evening, it might have been a little extra special, which might explain why the Cardinals were able to blow away the Bulldogs 15-2 at Stellos Stadium. “It goes back and forth about listening to outside noise,” BG coach Brian Cameron said, “but there Instagram posts about Bedford being No. 1 and us being No. 2, and in (a poll) Pinkerton was gettng first place votes, so we wanted this to be a statement game.” Oh that […]

NASHUA – You might say the Hollis Brookline High School boys lacrosse team caught local foe Nashua South at the wrong time. The Panthers (2-3) had to face part of the iron of Division I, Pinkerton and Bedford, back-to-back on the road before returning to Stellos Stadium yesterday. They seemed ready to take their frustrations out on whoever took the field out of the locker room. That just happened to be the Division II rebuilding Cavs. Oops. “It just took a little bit for us to get on the same page and get to what we wanted to do,” South […]

The goal for an incredibly successful local high school boys lacrosse program remains the same: Win championships. The last time the Cardinals of Bishop Guertin weren’t in the Division I lacrosse finals was waaaaaaay back in 2004, when Concord edged Souhegan. That’s an incredible stretch, and the Cards have dominated the sport in the post-COVID era, with five straight titles. Will there be more of the same? Exeter, Bedford, and Pinkerton have all tried to mount challenges over the years, so we’ll see. In Division II and III, it’ll be interesting locally to see if anyone can make a run […]
