Tourney Roundup: Sabers, Warriors fall; girls tourneys start today
Two local high school boys basketball teams saw their seasons come to an end on Monday night, as both the Souhegan and Wilton-Lyndeborough squads fell in their respective play-in games.
Here’s the rundown as well as a look at today’s tournament slate:
DIVISON II
REGION TWO PLAY-IN
MANCHESTER WEST 48,
SOUHEGAN 38
Nolan Colby had 10 points and Brady Rudolph eight to lead the Sabers with eight, but host Souhegan (1-6) managed just six points in the fourth quarter.
Manchester West (4-7) will now move on to visiting Hollis Brookline on Thursday night in the Region Two prelims.
DIVISION IV
MOUNT ROYAL 76,
WILTON-LYNDBOROUGH 52
The Warriors winless (0-12) season came to an end on the road, as now Mount Royal Academy will match up against nearby Sunapee in the Division IV prelims.
TODAY’S TOURNEY GAMES
Locally, the Bishop Guertin girls ice hockey team will star things off, hoping to stay unbeaten in a matchup against Souhegan, a team the Cards shut out twice during the regular season. Game time is 3:30 p.m. at Hudson’s Cyclones Arena.
Meanwhile, in girls hoop, Alvirne will visit Nashua South in the Division I Region Four play-in at 6 p.m. A limited number of Alvirne fans, pre-determined by tickets given to the competing Bronco student athletes, are being allowed into the Belanger Gym. The winner goes to face BG on Friday.
And, in a Division II Region Two play-in, the Souhegan Sabers will be at Manchester West at 7 p.m. The winner will visit Pelham on Friday in the prelims.
