HS Roundup: North boys hoop wins again; Milford girls fall
All the Nashua High School North boys basketball team knows how to do is win.
The Titans, who lost top shooter Thomas Laurendi to a broken leg at the end of regulation in Wednesday night’s game, prevailed over Manchester Memorial pn Thursday, one of the lightest nights of the month on the local high school docket.
The Milford girls, however, fell to a strong Lebanon team while the Souhegan girls hockey team did the same at the hands of Oyster River-Portsmouth.
Here’s a look:
