ALL FOUR TEAMS START A BUSY WEEK AT DRESDEN

 All four of the Hanover boys teams will have Dresden to themselves Monday, with three training sessions and a home game for the red hot Freshman team.  The frosh host Manchester Central, and can count on the practice bus getting them there in time for a god-pregame warmup.  Kickoff with the traditionally strong Little Green is at 4:30.

The other pitch will be shared by JV1 and JV2 for a regular training session at 4:00, ending a bit early at 5:15.   The Varsity will show up at 5:00, do their warmup on the side, and then nudge the JV teams off to start their session at 5:15. They will clear off at 6:45 so that many of them can get back to the HHS Turf in time to cheer the unbeaten field hockey team on against archival Lebanon.

All four teams will play on either Tuesday or Wednesday.  Varsity and JV1 will make the trek to the Massachusetts border with 5:00 games at Salem.  Both teams will be dismissed at 2:25 sharp, and the bus will leave shortly afterwards.

On Wednesday, the Freshmen will trek to Concord for a rematch with the Crimson Tide at 4:30.  The bus will leave at 3:00 sharp, allowing for snacks at the picnic table before departure.  Wonder how many Varsity or JV players they will drop down this time?  The JV2s will head to Dresden for a 4:00 match with Cardigan Mountain.

The last game of the week will be on Thursday for the JV2s, who head to Woodsville for a 4:30 match. No early dismissal, but departure immediately after school.

The 2021 Hanover Season is Underway!

 Welcome to the 2021 Hanover Boys Soccer  Blog.  As has been the case for nearly a decade, this daily blog is the best way to find accurate, timely information about every aspect of the boys soccer program at Hanover High School.  Posts are written late every night, and are designed to be read first thing in the morning.  We had the idea before "Daybreak"!  (We are perhaps reaching a smaller, more focused audience).  We will provide roster and schedule information, updates about practices and games, and other useful information that will be valuable for all stakeholders, including players, parents, alumni, coaches, news outlets and community members who follow Hanover Soccer.  We will continue to send email updates when we want to reach everyone with breaking news, but will soon discontinue the daily reports.  We ask every player and parent to check the blog every morning.  It's possible to bookmark us, and make the blog a morning habit for the next three months.

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 a critical social jus

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 minutes.  Thirty seconds iafrter the opening w
