EXETER – The Bedford High School boys lacrosse team withstood the initial surge out of the locker room Bishop Guertin came out with to begin Wednesday night's Division I semifinal to take a lead. Four-time defending champion Bishop Guertin made sure that wasn't going to happen again.

NASHUA – It’s hard to pinpoint the reason, exactly, but the Merrimack High School girls lacrosse team found out the hard way Sunday that the Merrimack Valley squad it beat by 10 goals during the regular season was not the same team it had to deal with in the Division II semifinals at Stellos Stadium. And that’s why the Tomahawks fell short, 13-10, to the No. 3 Pride who in an upset punched its ticket to the Tuesday finals vs. No. 1 Winnacunnet in Bedford. “It kind of surprised us, I’m not going to lie,” Merrimack coach Katie Todd said, […]

Wednesday was a South kinda day, as in Nashua South athletics. The Panthers won all six meetings with city rival Nashua North to grab at commanding 7-2 lead in the spring Battle of the Bridge.

NASHUA — The Bishop Guertin Cardinals came from the high of beating in-state rival Bedford on Friday, blowing away Salem on Monday to being nipped by Division II Winnacunnet on Tuesday at soggy Stellos Stadium. Ouch. The Cards, who face out of state Moses Brown here on Thursday, got four goals and three caused turnover from Abby Lynn, but still fell to 7-2 on the season, the 6-1 Warriors snapping BG’s four-game win streak. Elena Marziano had a goal, five caused turnovers, and three ground ball pickups. Bella Dawson and Madi Mendell had a goal each while Sarah Brunelle added […]

NASHUA – You had better be on your toes to catch the Bishop Guertin High School girls lacrosse this season. That is, of course, if they run up and down the field the way they did in Friday’s 12-5 win over perhaps their biggest in-state rival, the Bedford Bulldogs at sun-splashed Stellos Stadium. “With our intensity, we just came out, and we set the pace of this game,” Guertin senior defender Jordan Gaebel said, “which is really what got us to the end, pushing all the way.” Gaebel certainly was part of that, as she led the Cards to a […]

BEDFORD – Another challenge met by the Bishop Guertin High School boys lacarosse team. Every year there’s a team that feels it can snap Bishop Guertin’s long in-state win streak, and every year the Cards prove them wrong. That was the case again on Thusday when BG used a second quarter spurt to take control in an eventual 17-11 win over last year’s Division I runnerup, Bedford High School, at Bulldog Stadium. The Bulldogs’ hopes weren’t unwarranted. They took the Cards (5-1) to overtime a year ago and gave them a competitive game in a 15-12 Division I title game. […]

BEDFORD — As the number of Americans living with Alzheimer's disease exceeds 7 million for the first time, New Hampshire faces a growing public health crisis with Alzheimer's disease ranked as the seventh leading cause of death statewide.

The report also found that nearly four in five Americans would want to know if they had Alzheimer's disease before it impacted their lives and a majority would want treatment, even if it comes with risks, as long as it could slow the disease's progression. The 2025 […]

Champions again. The Bedford High School girls basketball team got one half of the what the Bulldogs hope are a dual Division I title as it topped Londonderry, 50-44, in the championship game Saturday at the University of New Hampshire’s Lundholm Gym. It’s the No. 1 Bulldogs’ (22-0) second straight title and third in the last five seasons, but it was no walk in the park.

BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — Jack Teixeira, the Massachusetts Air National Guard member who caused an international uproar when he leaked highly classified documents about the war in Ukraine, used his court-martial Thursday to describe himself as a “proud patriot” who was only “exposing and correcting the lies perpetuated by the Biden administration.” After pleading guilty to military charges of obstructing justice, the 23-year-old acknowledged he knew his actions were illegal but felt he needed to share the truth about how the Biden administration was misleading the American public about the war in Ukraine. “If I saved even one American, Russian […]

BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — A court-martial convened on Monday for Massachusetts Air National Guard member Jack Teixeira, who was sentenced in federal court last year to 15 years in prison for leaking highly classified military documents after the most consequential national security breach in years. Teixeira pleaded guilty last year to six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information under the Espionage Act. He faces additional military charges of disobeying orders and obstructing justice in the court-martial. His lawyer, Lt. Col. Bradley Poronsky, argued that the obstructing justice charge should either be dismissed or go unpunished, saying […]

According to court documents, Morse was employed by Bedford Women's Care Associates for several years and was the office manager in 2020. In that capacity, one of her primary responsibilities was to process payroll using ADP Payroll Services. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Morse, who has since moved to Albuquerque, N.M., “manipulated the payroll processes at BWCA” to increase her rate of pay. She continued to receive these “ill-gotten gains” for three years until BWCA closed […]
