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 […]

BEDFORD — Entering February, the Nashua South boys basketball team was still trying to find its identity. The Panthers’ record stood at 4-6, hitting a low when they lost by 22 to Portsmouth.

His defense changed the team's performance on the court and elevated a roster consisting of mostly juniors. That’s the good news. The bad?
