All Four Teams in Action Monday

 Monday is one of those rare and wonderful days when all four Hanover teams will be in action at the same time.  There are only two schools in New Hampshire that have four teams - Hanover and Exeter.  At this point in the season, all four teams are ready to roll, having experienced the ups and downs necessary to build team unity and resilience.  Well, the Freshmen are undefeated after two games, but we'll count on the JV2 to keep them humble.

The Varsity and JV1 will head to Nashua Monday to play Nashua South.  Dismissal time is 2:20, and departure is at 2:30 sharp.  They will be back to white uniforms.  The JV1 match is at Nashua South High School (36 Riverside Street, Nashua, BH 03062), and the Varsity game is at Stellos Stadium, half a mile away (7 Stadium Drive, Nashua, NH. 03062).  Game times are at 5:00.

Nashua South will be a challenging game for the Varsity.  The Purple Panthers are 5-0, and on Saturday they beat Manchester Central 1-0.  Central was tabbed as the team to beat in NH this year.  Well, South beat them.

The Freshman team will also go on the road for a game at Keene High School (43 Arch Street, Keene, NH 03431) at 4:30.  Hanover will wear white.  Dismissal time is 2:35, and departure is 2:45.  There will be snacks on the picnic table for the departing players.  Be sure to clean up after yourselves!

The lone home hame will be the JV2's match at Dresden at 4:30 against Fall Mountain.  Players will be able to take the practice but to the game, but need to arrange for transportation home after the game.  Coach Bucket will be breaking out the lucky yellow strip for the lads.

JV1 Rallies Twice to Open The Season; Beats Concord 3-2

It took the JV1 a half to settle down and take care of business, but Hanover was resilient in rallying twice and scoring the only goal of the second half to defeat Concord in their season opener. The host Crimson Tide jumped out to a 1-0 lead when a careless back pass created an opening for a bad angle shot by Concord's talented and flamboyant striker. Ten minutes later, Ian Press and Sam Calderwood combined to create a game-tying goal. Calderwood played Press into space, and Ian returned the favor as the speedy Calderwood sped for his return pass, hitting a hard shot and then finishing the rebound from the Tide keeper's save. After Hanover keeper Christian Blix kept things tied with a good save, Concord went ahead when Hanover once again failed to protect the ball in the back. A square pass was picked off by the Tide's sole scoring threat, who put his team in front 2-1 and then let the world know that he was the man. Careful, Flamboyant Concord Striker - Karma's a ...

We're Back in the DR! The 2022 Trip Diary Begins

 Dear Friends and Supporters of DR Projects - This is the first in a series of Blog Posts for the DR Projects trip in April, 2022.  I'm hiding out as part of the 2019 trip blog because I am not getting along with Blogspot with regard to starting a brand new blog.  We'll make sure that everyone finds their way to this one!  After two successful trips in 2019 (the one chronicled here below and the one led later in the year by Frank Perotti), we had big plans for our next trip in 2020, with the particular goal, of continuing the reading program at the Altagracia elementary school in Cotui.  Everything was in place:  we had seen the curriculum in action, we had two dedicated teachers, and we had a cadre of volunteers ready to take things to the next level.  On a larger scale in the DR, our ally and inspiring role model Juan Valdez, was making significant progress in his visionary goal of helping every underserved child in his country to learn English. It's...

Varsity Rallies From Three Down to Beat BG 8-3

 In one of the more astonishing games in Hanover's long history, the Varsity trailed Bishop Guertin by three goals with 27 minutes to play, and scored eight goals, including five in a five-minute span, to beat the Cardinals 8-3.  The win gives Hanover am 11-3-1 record and all but locks them into a top four spot in the Division One standings, providing they can get a result in Thursday's Senior Day clash with Winnacunnet. Going into the match with Bishop Guertin, a team likely to finish out of the playoffs, Hanover expected to score a lot of goals and play everyone on the team.  That all happened, but hardly to way the anyone might have anticipated.  Hanover started the game flat, trailed after eight minutes, conceded another shaky goal on the 23rd minute, and then after Eric Ringer missed a penalty kick the would have cut the deficit in half, conceded a shocking third goal with five minutes to play, the second by the speedy Rayaan Hameed. Trailing by three at halftim...
