Sports never takes a holiday, in fact, it creates one. So no surprise there was a semi-full slate of local high school games on Monday, and no surprise thet Bishop Guertin pitcher Ben Geiger pitched another gem, or that the Hollis Brookline baseball team thumped an opponent, or that Owen Roy had a scoring day to remember for Nashua South boys lacrosse.

Here’s a look:
