The Season Opens Tomorrow! All Four Teams Named

Friday is the day that many of us have been waiting for since, well, November. We have the chance to play some matches and keep score! The Varsity and JV 1 will travel to Concord's Memorial Field (70 South Fruit Street, Concord, NH 03301) for 4:00 matches against a respevcted rival. The Crimson Tide are one of only two Division One teams to win more than one title in the last decade. And yes, Hanover is the other. Hanover came from behind to beat Concord 2-1 in last year' playoff opener. We're sure they remember. The bus will leave HHS at 1:30. Masks are mandatory. No eating or drinking on the bus. In the meantime, the Freshman and JV2 teams will train at Dresden from 4:00 - 5:30. Both teams have been congealing this week, and should be ready to hit the road on Monday (Freshmen at Memorial) and Tuesday (JV2 at Sunapee). We have seen just about every freshman this week at training. We're still waiting for a few of the JV2 crew to check in either Friday or Monday. Here are the teams: Freshmen: Teddy Abbate Sam Ames Sebastian Bujarski Wynn Bushell Schuyler Clapp Henry Cotter Joseph Glass Jai Gregory Ian Holmes Noi Laruson Diego Lee Sam McDonnell Ezra McGinley-Smith Gavin Munson Lionel Ndong Isaac Novosad Alex Orsino Andrew Rudd Daniel Ruse John Scherer Henry Steffen Benjamin Thaler-Wellborn Gus Thompson Coaches: Jason Hirschhorn and Ned Harris JV2: Paul Ashton Blake Bouchard Alex Brackett Berkeley Chamberlain Kevin Chou Patrick Donegan Liam Foston Theo Joseph Trevor Lichtenstein Aaron Nyhan John Pham Wyatt Sklarin Iver Skogerboe Simon Taenzer Will Taylor

Friday 4:00 Match For Soccer Quarterfinals

 Hanover will host a quarterfinal NBHIAA Tournament game against upset winner Pinkerton Academy at 4:00 Friday.  Hanover's quarterfinal opponent emerged after #11 Pinkerton's 2-1 victory over #6 Londonderry.   The suggested theme for Friday's game:  "Trick or Treat".  Suggested dress code:  Halloween costumes!  Perhaps everyone should come as Bears, Huskies, Hawks, Trailblazers, and Jalapeños It's the last home game for any Hanover fall team in any sport, and the weather looks favorable.  Here's another reason for everyone to come:  We will be hosting our final Food Drive for the Haven.  We have had wonderful donations of non-perishable food items for the Haven Food Pantry, and this is the final opportunity to donate.  We are particularly interested in having members of the JV1, JV2, and Freshman teams join us for the game and bring food items. Pinkertons's upset win over Londonderry was only one of five first-round games which saw ...

Hanover Heads to the Semifinals at Stellos Stadium

 Hanover faces its most significant game of the season on Monday, playing Manchester Central in the NHIAA Division One semifinals at 4:00 at Stellos Stadium in Nashua.  The winner will play the victor in an intriguing Nashua North vs, Nashua South matchup in the second game of the doubleheader.  The venue is a familiar one for Hanover.  They have played twice this year at Stellos, once when they lost 1-0 to top-seeded Nashua South, and more recently when they staged their miracle comeback against Bishop Guertin. Hanover is also quite familiar with Central, who beat them 1-0 two weeks ago, their only other in-state loss this season.  The top three teams in the state have made it to Stellos,  a scenario that has been looming since September, when Nashua South beat both the Little Green and Hanover back to back.  All three teams are evenly-matched. Logistics:  Hanover will wear white against Central.  The team is dismissed at 1:05, and will depa...

Hanover Season Ends in Championship Final in Penlty Kick Shootout

   Hanover played a brilliant match in the NHIAA D1 Finals, losing to unbeaten, nationally ranked Nashua South in the 11th round of a penalty kick shootout.  Hanover rallied to tie the game 2-2 in the second half and them dominated the two overtime periods, hitting the post late in the second overtime. Nashua South prevailed in the PK shootout to claim their first title, finishing 19-0-1.  They are the first D1 team to be unbeaten since Hanover did it in 2013 with the same record.  The match was played in front of a crowd estimated at more than 2,000 in chilly Stellos Stadium.  The Hanover road crew more than offset the Nashua South home field advantage, and were rewarded by a performance to make them proud.  This was the final match for 11 exceptional seniors. The match began well for Hanover, who recently had made a habit of fast starts.  Despite the pressure and the quality of the opposition, Hanover was on the front foot in the opening mi...
