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...
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...
The longstanding tradition of this blog is to always, always write a game story the same day (or night) of the game. Never, never put it off, no matter what. Always report the game result, win or lose. Never mind if it's a night game (and thank goodness in this case it doesn't come after a long bus ride home). Never mind how early the alarm will ring on Saturday. Never mind if the Sox bullpen is blowing the lead in the background. Never mind if the game was exciting and well-played and competitive, while also being excruciatingly frustrating, with marginal behavior by the opponents, and irksome officiating by officials overwhelmed by the moment. So, here's the story: Hanover hosted Manchester Central, always a team full of talented players. Central came into the game with a solid 12-1-1 record, with only a loss to Nashua South and a tie with Manchester Memorial in their rivalry game. Central won the game 1-0. After an eve...
