Game 1: Manchester West vs Manchester Central

This week we started off with an inner city rivalry, Manchester West and Manchester Central. At the beginning of the game, both teams were having a tough time finding their place and settling in. This did not prevent Central from putting up a quick 5 though to move ahead 5-1 going into the half. West started working the ball a bit better come second half, but Central was on a hot streak, and with goals from 8 separate players, West was unable to respond.

Final Score: Manchester West - 2, Manchester Central - 15

Lounge member Mike O'Loughlin is one of the invites to the BST Academy

 Below is the release of the selected 2010 BST-Advanced Academy program roster. The program is a five week/ ten session program that will take place at the Sportszone, Derry NH starting Tuesday August 17. The BST Advanced Academy team is excited about the opportunity to work with this group of committed individuals. All of these players have tremendous upside and the most important attribute is they all are students of the game.  This will be an eye opening player development program for these young individuals and we at BST look forward to exposing this group to the work outs and work ethic it will take to succeed at the "Next Level".

Is Portsmouth high the best baseball team in all of New Hampshire?

 Often there comes a point in a long season when a team at the crossroads faces its demons, and finds a spirit that turns a potentially disastrous season into a great one. That happened to Winnisquam High and Portsmouth Christian Academy this spring, sometime in late April.

 Portsmouth Christian opened the spring without a win in two weeks.

“After we started out 0-3 I had my doubts, but the kids… started playing better, started to believe in themselves, and it just went from there,” PCA head coach Chip Andrews recalled after his club beat North Country power Pittsburg to win the Class S crown on June 12.

 At Winnisquam High School it was an early-season loss that prompted the pivotal soul-searching. “After the Mascoma loss we took a look at ourselves and realized we had to work hard every time out… and we did,” coach Fred Caruso recalled recently. And the Bears went on to compile a 19-2 record and beat favored – and previously unbeaten – Somersworth to win the Class M title.
