Here’s a few tids and bits for you while spring tournaments are in full swing and so is the Nashua Silver Knights season:

— You want to know the beauty of high school sports? When kids are the most genuine. You had to feel good about the Milford High School Division II boys track title, a repeat if you will of their stunning indoor championship.

But think about this: Kids battle hard for four years, put their hear and soul into multiple sports, and never win a championship. This year, Spartan seniors Avery Wilson and Kenyon Sora won three. Both were keys on the Milford Divison II boys soccer title – Wilson got the game-winner – and also were huge in the indoor track title.

Did they ever think they’d win three state titles in one year?

“I never thought I was going to win one, to be fair,” Wilson said. “It’s such an accomplishment for me. Soccer was unbelievable. Track was even better – seven people (indoors) competing to win something so big. And then every guy (last Sunday) stepped in and really put their heart and effort to move up points.

“For me and Kenyon, it’s unbelievable.”

Wilson will be going to run track at Bryant University, while Sora will be going to UNH to do the same. But Sora certainly, like Wilson, expect what happened this year.

“Definitely not, I’m going to be honest with you,” he said. “We’re definitely thankful enough that we were able to be so successful this year….”

“It’s been a great year,” Wilson said.

No egos. Just success. Who could ever root against these guys?

—- It looks like the sport of boys hockey at Souhegan High School will be absent for a year, and hopefully that will be it. The numbers weren’t there to justify co-oping after Nashua decided to go with a North-South co-op. The problem is also technical; it’s tough to be a third wheel with an existing co-op in the middle of a scheduling cycle, and have that program have to elevate a division because of the added enrollment. Stay tuned for next year, at leas that’s the hope for Sabers athletic director Kelli Braley.

—- Well, Stephon Diggs certainly livened things up for a Patriots off-season, didn’t he? No, he won’t be released. That’s a tough sell with the NFLPA anyway, they’d grieve it in a heartbeat. Moral of the story is that there are cameras everywhere. Everywhere. And Diggs will now be on a short leash, but we all know he and the Patriots basically need each other.

—– Well, it’s certainly been a great first week of Nashua Silver Knight baseball, hasn’t it? Offensively, there seems to be an emphasis on situational hitting, etc. But games come down to the same thing they always have: Walks and errors. The team that makes the fewest are going to usually win the games.

But for an entertainment standpoint, this team so far – and it is soooo early — has that knack. Last Tuesday’s Education Day walk-off win, with a crowd of over 3600 screaming students having a blast in picture perfect weather was one of those Holman moments. There are probably more to come. Heck, even their eary season promotions are working even if rained out, as former Red Sox utility man Brock Holt filled the concourse with autograph lines, etc. on Friday night before the game with Norwich was postponed.

— Tough spring with Nashua North and South missing the Division I baseball tournament, especially after last year’s Titan tourney run to the semis. But hopefully they can keep the move afloat to work with the Cal Ripken levels and get an influx of talent into their programs. Baseball in Nashua needs a boost. We want to see a crowded Holman Stadium on the first day of the Division I tournament.

— Is it just us or does Alex Cora sound like a Dead Manager Walking? Listen to his comments after the Red Sox suffered their 17th one-run loss of the season early this past week. There’s defintely a disconnect between Cora and general manager Craig Breslow.

—– It’s good to see another high level soccer entity playing at Rivier in the late spring/early summer, the Black Rock FC . We feel the same way about the Robinson Pavilion and Merrill Field up on the hill that we do about Holman. Too great a facility to sit empty after the students leave campus.
