Four Nashua youths advanced, including Teddi Starr-Kramer (13), DJ Frechette (11), Isabel Dunning (10) and Rita Dow (8). Jake Robbins (9) of Nashua finished as runner-up to Keene’s Nick Ramirez for the 8-9 boys title. Max Coleman (13) of Londonderry had the best day of the competitors, making 23 of his 25 freethrows.
