Nashua High School Football Roundup: Competitive Weekend in Rain
NASHUA – It was an eventful weekend for high school football and soccer in Nashua as teams battled through the rain and showcased some thrilling performances. The atmosphere was alive at Stellos Stadium as the Bishop Guertin High School football team started strong with an early lead against Alvirne High School but ultimately faced a disappointing setback.
On Saturday evening, Bishop Guertin took an early 6-0 lead, wowing a small but excited crowd, but soon the *momentum slipped away,* and they couldn’t recover. Although they showed promise, the rain seemed to wash away their chances for victory.
Meanwhile, the Cardinal’s girls’ soccer team stepped onto the field just later that day and proved their strength by blanking the rebuilding Alvirne team 7-0. The steady rain didn’t slow them down, and they demonstrated skill and determination, leading 2-0 at halftime.
On Friday night, Nashua South also made headlines as their quarterback, Cody Jackson, showcased his talent with a remarkable 61-yard touchdown run, helping his team secure a 36-13 win. The Panthers were energized and performed strongly, signaling their potential this season.
In another tightly contested game, the Keene High School football team triumphed over Nashua North with a 23-20 victory. The game kept fans on the edge of their seats from start to finish, showcasing the competitive spirit of both teams.
The weekend wrapped up with the Milford Spartans defeating the Cavaliers decisively at 48-22, where key plays, including two blocked punts from Liam Zahn, highlighted their strong opening. It was a clear statement of recognition in the early part of the season.
As the fall weather sets in, the Nashua high school teams are fired up and ready for another exciting week of competition.
