It was a light schedule on the local front, in part due to the weather, but the day began with the Nashua High School South boys soccer team being presented with a resolution by New Hampshire State Senator Cindy Rosenwald in honor of the Panthers’ Division I title won last November in a dramatic shootout over Hanover.

The resolution reads “Be it known that the New Hampshire Senate extends its congratulations to the Nashua High School South Undefeated Boys Soccer Team in recognition of winning the 2021 NHIAA Division I championship 18-0-1.

“And be it further known that the New Hampshire Senate extends its heartfelt best wishes for continued success.”

The presentation was made in the South Rotunda.

Meanwhile, here’s a look at the day’s events and some good news for some HB girls lacrosse players as well:
