It wasn’t as busy a Tuesday night on the local high school front as we’re used to during the winter, but there was certainly some drama for the Milford boys basketball team. And more winning for a Souhegan boys team that started the year at 0-7 and hasn’t lost since. Incredible.

The Milford girls also won a big one against local rival Hollis Brookline, as did the Bishop Guertin girls hockey team over Souhegan. And speaking of Souhegan… well, we’ll let you read on:
