Thursdays are usually light days during the high school winter season, but that doesn’t mean they’e uneventful.

It was a great day for local Co-Ed Unified Basketball with Nashua North vs.South, a not-so-great night for the South girls hoop team, but a good one for Milford. Plus it was the season opener for the BG, Nashua North and South ski teams.

Let’s take a look:

CO-ED UNIFIED BASKETBALL

NASHUA NORTH 52, NASHUA SOUTH 50

It was a battle of two scorers, Nashua North’s Jack Capurso and South’s Hunter St. Onge.

Capurso finished with 20 points, including North’s four points in the OT, while St. Onge led South with 16 points. He hit the shot with one second left in regulation that sent the game into overtime tied at 48.

The defensive tandem of Kaylani Zimmerman and Ashlynn Millard combined for the steal in the closing seconds to seal the dramatic win for the Titans. Capurso hit the game winner with 30 seconds left.

South fell to 0-2 and is at Keene this Tuesday. North is now 1-1 and visits Bedford on Tuesday.
