It was a busy Saturday morning, noon and night with local high school teams, who made use of the entire day, starting with good news for Merrimack football in the morning, as well as the Nashua South boys cross country team in the North Invitational race. It was even good news for the BG soccer teams.

Let’s take a look:

FOOTBALL

MERRIMACK 28, GOFFSTOWN 8

The Tomahawks tasted victory for the first time this season. QB Sahil Mujawar tosded two touchdowns, one to Logan Day and another to Aiden Centralla.

Garron Brown also had two TD runs for the ‘Hawks, now 1-2 and headed back to Stellos Stadium next Saturday to take on Bishop Guertin.

BOYS SOCCER

BISHOP GUERTIN 2, TIMBERLANE 2

It wasn’t a win, but the Cards (0-5-1) managed to avoid a sixth setback with goals by Rayaan Hameed and Trenton Cormier. The tough part was the Owls, also winless, scored with about five minutes left but that didn’t take away from another exceptional performance by BG keeper Beau Baughter (eight saves).

Carson Leo returned to the team and played well, along with Josh Corrieau and Alex Haigt.

BG is at Manchester Memorial on Tuesday night.

GIRLS SOCCER

BISHOP GUERTIN 3, PINKERTON 1
