The toughest games for Nashua High School North and South athletic teams aren’t really those of the Battle of the Bridge — it’s the ones right after.

That point was proven on Tuesday night as the both the North, South boys and girls basketball teams went a collective 0-4. Ouch.

Meanwhile, a dramatic win for the Bishop Guertin boys, while the Milford girls prevailed once again, a familiar refrain.
