The Milford High School girls basketball team stormed into Nashua in late December and left with their second Holiday Tournament title in three years.
Now they want to work on getting another plaque – the Division II title.
Avery Fuller showed that drive on Monday night in what head coach Mike Davidson called “an All-State performance” in a win on the road over Pelham.
While that was the high, the low for the local results were not one but two overtime hockey losses at home by Nashua South-Pelham and Merrimack.
Here’s the good and the bad of Monday:
