MANCHESTER – Not sure if Montague Jones has ever put on a pair of boxing gloves. The Souhegan High School senior has got a heck of a right cross. Jones was absolutely lethal from the right wing, assisting on all three Souhegan goals in a 3-1 Sabers’ victory at Manchester West. “He’s ...
BALTIMORE (AP) — Jackie Bradley Jr. scored the game’s lone run on a wild pitch by Brad Brach in the 11th inning, and the Boston Red Sox used six pitchers to silence the Baltimore Orioles’ bats in a 1-0 victory Tuesday night. Boston has won 10 of 13 to move a season-high 23 games over .500 ...
NASHUA – This time, Lindsay Hult would not be denied. The Bishop Guertin High School field hockey freshman had a goal taken away from her in a rout in Manchester last week when Cards’ head coach Steve Duprat, not wanting to pile on, informed the one official working the game that the shot ...
FIELD HOCKEY Nashua North 4, Manchester Memorial 1 The Titans picked up their first win of the season (1-6) as Danielle Upton had two goals while Emily Sweet and Julia Gagnon also scored. Two of the goals came off penalty corners. Also playing well defensively were Izzy Gates, Theresa Ellison, ...

HUDSON – At some point early Sunday, the 2017 Nashua Cities Golf Championship morphed into the “Bishop Guertin Invitational.” In a Cardinals thriller, Jaron Slattery, alum, survived an 18th-hole scare from Cam Sheedy (Class of 2018) to win his first Cities title. Give the kid credit. ...
The Alvirne High School football players, once they got back to the school from Keene around 11:30 on Friday night, all walked up one by one to head coach Tarek Rothe, shook his hand, gave him a hug and thanked him after their 14-7 win. “That I didn’t get,” said Rothe, who earned his ...

NEW ORLEANS – If Tom Brady and the Patriots were suffering from a Super Bowl hangover, it looks as though a trip to New Orleans pulled the defending champions out of it. The 40-year-old Brady hasn’t often looked better in his long, illustrious career, providing an audible contingent of ...
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Daivd Price had a flawless return from a nearly two-month layoff. The 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner pitched two hitless innings in relief for the Boston Red Sox in a 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. He was activated Thursday and pitched for the first time since ...
The baseball world called on commissioner Rob Manfred to send a clear message that using digital devises to steal signs is bad, bad, bad – and against baseball’s laws. And he did. He took a rhetorical rolled-up scorecard, whacked the Red Sox on their collective snout, and growled, ...
Wake up the echoes. Boston College hosts the University of Notre Dame in a football game on Saturday that used to be big nationally but now is kind of off to the side. Sure, we wish it were a bigger deal. It would be even bigger locally if Brookline’s Chris Bury, the Bishop Guertin alum, had ...
MERRIMACK – Scott Knight could sense the change in his Nashua High School South team the second half of Tuesday’s practice. And then the Panthers coach could really sense it after the first of three Alex Amigo touchdown catches the helped the Panthers hold off Merrimack, 27-20, Friday night ...
LONDONDERRY – Too often Friday night, Nashua North followed up a gem of a football play with a mistake. “You just can’t do that against good football teams,” said North coach Dante Laurendi. “That’s a good enough football team where you can’t help them out.” Two fumbles and a ...
NASHUA – The future is bright for the Bishop Guertin football team. However, the current iteration of the squad is clearly a work in progress, and that sentiment was undoubtedly emphasized Friday night. Despite falling into a two-score deficit toward the beginning of the contest, the ...
AMHERST – Perhaps it’s only fair that a game this close had more than one “final” play. The Saints of Saint Thomas Aquinas High School escaped Souhegan with a 26-21 victory on Friday night, closing out a contest that truly could have gone either way. While they couldn’t convert a ...
PELHAM – Milford High School took to the road and earned its first win of the year at 1-1 Pelham, 28-7. Gavin Urda’s 60-yard punt return broke the ice for the Spartains. Zach King threw a 15-yard TD pass to Nick Mazeo, and the senior QB also ran for a 4-yard TD. Ricky DeBernardo added the ...
Tim Schaller knows the drill. He hears the skates behind him and that’s why he was so determined to report to Boston Bruins training camp late this past week in great shape. Not even the one-way, one-year contract the Merrimack native signed with the Bruins in the off-season gives the third ...
NASHUA – Derek Downing was standing on the field and saw all the commotion in the stands last Friday night at Pinkerton Academy in Derry, and like many, was wondering what the heck was going on. “It was right after the National Anthem, and I heard our trainer, Jerry (Holland) say ‘We need ...
