It's defense like this by Nashua North's Summer St. Pierre, right, in last year's North-South game that almost helped the Titans get an upset over Windham on Monday night, but the Jaguars prevailed.

The name of the game is scoring points, but both the Nashua High School North and Campbell girls basketball teams just weren’t able to get enough offense going on Monday night

Neither were able to crack the 30-point mark en route to tough losses, but in North’s case, Titans coach Curt Dutilley liked what he saw from his team, especially defensively.

“A great team effort against an outstanding Windham team,” he said. “We held their top scorer to six points and played an overall outstanding defensive game. Came up a little short on the offensive end being outsized significantly at every position.”

The other positive from last night’s brief slate? The Campbell boys hoop team played its best game of the season getting a win.
