by Len LathropThe grapplers from Litchfield have journeyed

to the Python Den twice over the past 10 days. On a snowy Saturday morning they competed in the tenth annual Sgt. Daniel Gionet Memorial Wrestling Tournament --a Pelham High School alumni and wrestler who was killed in Iraq protecting the freedoms of all Americans-- and

then in the middle of the week on the 20th for a head-to-head match.

At the Gionet tournament, competing against Manchester Central, Westererly, Bedford Minuteman, Newport, Pelham, Oyster River, Kingswood, Marblehead-Swampscott and Hopkinton, the Cougars finished first with 125 points. Winning in their weight classes were Brendan Douglas, 106; Dayton Chandonnet, 120; Tyler McCrady, 138; Luke Orlando, 195; and Adam Hayward, 285.

When the Cougars returned to the Python Den that week Pelham had only three wrestlers to compete and one exhibition match. At the 126 weight division Dayton Chardonnet of Campbell pinned Alexander Becker of Pelham at 5.11 of the match. Tyler McCrady fighting at 138 for CHS pinned Zachary Koch at 1:24 of the third period, and at 145 Python Jason Gleason pinned Cougar Dillon Cloonan at 2.13 of the competition. In the exhibition match at the heavyweight level Adam Haywood of Campbell defeated Dom Branco after an escape and then a takedown directly to Brancos back for the pin. Not something you see happen in the 285 class.

At this juncture of the season, Campbell is second in the NHIAA Division 3 ranking only bettered by Plymouth who is having an undefeated season.

Campbell will wrestle Kearsarge and White Mountain on Wednesday after press deadline, and then travel to Newport on Feb. 3 and finishes regular match on the 10th when currently undefeated Plymouth comes to the Cougar Den.

Hudson Fire Log

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?Thumbs up/Thumbs down to whatever

opinions readers have. Oh, there goes that enthusiasm again. Ill do some surgery on it and fling it again. Thanks for the reminder.

Thumbs down to the person who ran over my neighbors garbage can lid. Did it move too fast for you to swerve? And thumbs down to my neighbor who cant bother to bend over and pick up his smashed garbage lid. Do you think the smasher is going to feel bad when they drive by and see it smashed? Are you waiting for a neighbor who does care to pick it up?

Thumbs down to the person who drove their ATV on Green Meadow Golf Course. The main entrance of Green Meadow Golf Course clearly has a sign saying no ATVs/recreational vehicles.

Thumbs up/Thumbs down to AHS. We so enjoy our teens sharing your lack of teaching skills, your dating habits, inappropriate relationships with students. And of course your hard efforts on your appearances throughout the halls in all areas. These leadership qualities will so help my young adult with that college degree easily or land them that CEO position. Thank you? Not!

Thumbs up to Bernie Sanders. He is an honest man who really believes that his political opinions are what this county needs. I respect him. Thumbs down to Hilary who is the greatest demagogue and political hack to appear on the national stage for decades and who doesnt really believe half of what she preaches to those woeful 50 percent of Americans who are unable to think for themselves and who are absolutely convinced that the governments role in this life is to take care of them. And finally double thumbs down to anybody dumb enough to vote for either one of them.

Thumbs up. I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all my L5 passengers. You have been a wonderful group of kids and I have enjoyed each and every one of you. I hope that you all build on bus safety and understand why and what we expect from each of you while riding. I want to also say thank you for all your kindness and generosity during the holidays and it just brings that much more joy to me as your driver. Believe me, it has not gone unnoticed, and

I have not forgotten all that was given. I just want you all to know that the biggest and best gift given is to be called your bus driver. Looking forward to the remaining weeks of this school year. Thank you all. Ms. G.

Thumbs down to the Litchfield Middle School parents who think their children are better than everyone else. When your children are constantly hurting others with their words at school, during sports, and on social media its just wrong! You should be encouraging them to be kind and build friendships not compete over everything.

Thumbs up and thanks to Alex at the Litchfield library for the e-reader class. She is very patient and informative. What a great service offered to library patrons.

Thumbs up to our BOS for looking into bringing businesses into Hudson. Although, I suspect one of the reasons Hudson is not growing at a fast-pace is because of the water issue and a lack of highway access. One option is to have businesses hookup to Nashua, Litchfield, or Merrimacks water supply. What is the town going to receive, besides property taxes for having this new Dunkin-Donuts store? How will it benefit the town and are we getting a percentage of yearly store sales? Seems like a FedEx, UPS shipping/receiving, or car dealership - would be more economical and not drain our water-supply.

Thumbs up to the former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, who said this week that Hillary Clinton is clearly the most qualified candidate to become president of the political system we now have. Bernie Sanders is clearly the most qualified candidate to create the political system we should

have. Vote Bernie Sanders on Feb. 9.

Thumbs down to Bernie Sanders. He did not fix Wall Street or the rigged economy as a Washington lawmaker for the last 25 years. What

makes him think he can do it as president? I think he will only create more gridlock in Washington as president.

Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Whats the choice? Polls show the Democratic leader is widely seen as unethical (one had her as the least trusted of all candidates). Why continue to trust someone who knowingly left critical government data open to hackers (while lying about destroying evidence)? As former Secretary of State, shes on track to continue the Presidents unfocused and ineffective plan to protect the country from terrorism and national security threats. Also, while Secretary of

State her family foundation accepted millions in donations from foreigners seeking government approval of deals. Further, shes announced that shell bypass our elected Senators and Reps if they wont agree with her - likely provoking legal challenges. We do have an alternative

who is straightforward and sincere, but he is also an avowed Socialist who wants a government takeover of all healthcare and supports higher taxes. Some choices.

Thumbs down to Sarah Palin for endorsing Donald Trump for President. I thought Sarah was a true Christian. Donald Trump is Ok with gay marriage and abortion. Has Sarah gone mad?

Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Imagine making a deal with Iran. After the deal is made for a

billion dollars, John Kerry goes on Fox News to say that some of the money given to Iran will go to support terrorism. This man Kerry threw our Marines under the bus in March of 1971 when he said they were cutting off heads. I am a Marine. He said this in front of a Senate Hearing. I saw it. He made a deal to kill Americans. Wheres the outrage?

Thumbs down to Bernie Sanders. When he wins the primary after Hillary is sent to jail, I cant wait to see Donald Trump tear him apart. Unless, of course, hes admitted to an asylum first.

Thumbs down to my neighbor who walks their dog across my lawn and lets him do his business on it. I do thank you for picking up his leftovers, but it is still my lawn and it is rude to let your dog use it to go to the bathroom on. Please, dont walk him across it anymore since I dont even let my own dog use my front lawn to do her business. Thank you from your super grossed out neighbor.

Thumbs up to the Democratic candidate with the most moderate, practical approach to ensuring a brighter future for all of us. She understands the middle class just cant afford more taxes. She has the most experience of any other candidate

running for president. Hillary Clinton is strong, wise and intelligent. We need her to rifle through the cabinet, set a place for all of us at the table, and serve up prosperity for everyone.

Thumbs up to Bernie Sanders. Ive been a Republican all my life, but Bernie stands head and shoulders above every other candidate, liberal or conservative. We need someone that Americans can trust to fight for us, not for corporations and lobbyists. I urge you to join me in voting for Bernie on Feb. 9.

Discussing Efforts to Curb Drug Epidemic at Addiction Forum

submitted by the Office Congresswoman Annie KusterCongresswoman Annie Kuster (NH-02) gave remarks

at a drug addiction forum held recently at Southern New Hampshire University. The event was hosted by the Addiction Policy Forum to bring together lawmakers, state officials, and other stakeholders to address the urgent need to fight the opioid epidemic sweeping across New Hampshire and other New England states.

All across New Hampshire, were experiencing the effects of a perfect storm of increased access to cheap heroin, high opioid prescription rates, and a dramatic reduction in available drug treatment beds. This storm does not discriminate; families from every demographic and socio-economic status are being affected by this deadly epidemic. Thats why Im urging family members to tell their stories and educate elected officials as advocates for prevention, treatment, and recovery at the state and federal level, said Congresswoman Annie Kuster. Tomorrow, Ill be hosting a Special Order hour on the House floor entitled Putting a Face on Heroin, where Ill share the story of New Hampshires own Kriss Blevens, who tragically lost her step-daughter Amber to

a heroin overdose. It is because of stories like these that we must come together as a community to address this crisis, and I thank all of the participants at todays forum for their valuable insight.

The SNHU forum was hosted by the Addiction Policy Forum at Southern New Hampshire University, and featured speakers including Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Senator Kelly Ayotte, Congressman Frank Guinta, and Attorney General Joseph Foster, among others.

In Congress, Kuster has prioritized efforts to address the opioid epidemic in New Hampshire and across the country. She cofounded a Bipartisan Task Force to Combat the Heroin Epidemic, and she recently helped introduced new legislation to prevent and address opioid addiction. She will be bringing together members of both parties to hold a special order on the opioid epidemic where members will share the real stories of individuals affected by the crisis in order to highlight the crucial importance of addressing opioid addiction now. Information about viewing the special order will be available on the congresswomans Facebook page.

submitted by Hudson Police DepartmentOn Jan. 17, at about 3:05 p.m., Hudson Police responded

to a reported stabbing outside 87 Central St. Upon arrival, the police located a victim suffering from a stab wound to his torso. The Hudson Police also detained a subject, at the scene, who was believed to be involved.

The 35-year-old stabbing victim, Freddie Buchanan, recently of Hudson, was treated on scene by responding Hudson Fire Department personnel. He was subsequently transported to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center. The injury has been determined to be non life-threatening.

During the investigation, the Hudson Police Department determined the victim was stabbed by the detained subject. The subject was identifi ed as Ronald Russell, 35, of Nashua.

He was arrested and charged with First Degree Assault, a class A Felony. His bail was set at $20,000 cash or bond. He was held at Valley Street Jail pending bailing or arraignment on Jan. 19 at the 9th Circuit Court Nashua District Division.

The Hudson Police Department continues to investigate this incident. It is an ongoing investigation so, at this time, there are no further details available.

submitted by HMS Lady Colts

Once again, the HMS Lady Colts proved they are among the best programs in Tri-County basketball. With a 53-23 win versus Concord on Monday, the girls fi nished their regular season with a 12-0. By doing so, they earned the regular season championship as well as the number 1 seed for the playoffs.

All season long the girls have worked hard to get to this point. With their fi rst-place regular season fi nish, the girls get a fi rst-round bye and an automatic bid into the semi-fi nals, which they will host at Hudson Memorial School. The girls will play the winner of Bedford and Salem Wednesday, Feb. 3 at HMS at 3:30 p.m.

I cant say enough about how hard these girls have worked! said Coach Girginis. These girls have sacrifi ced a lot of blood, sweat, and tears this season, and I know if we all keep our focus, we can fi nish what we set out to do.

Co-Captain Erin Carney said, We have accomplished two of our three goals this year, and now all of our eyes are on the big one, the Tri-County Championship. I know we can achieve it if we keep working hard and playing together like we have all season. In watching these girls play all season, there is no doubt that focus is one of the HMS Lady Colts strong suits.

The Lady Colts know that even though they have accomplished some great things so far this season, they still are laser focused on their ultimate goal, and to do that, they must believe in what got them to this point: their team and themselves.

by Craig SmithCampbell is no stranger to talented athletes, and the schools track

and fi eld squad is no exception. Some might think that a trek to Maine in the midst of winter would stiffen the athletes muscles and make it diffi cult to perform, but that couldnt be further from the truth. Campbell fi nished the meet fi nishing high in scoring for both the mens and womens divisions.

For the mens side Campbell fi nished in fourth place out of 16 with a score of 29. The womens division featured 14 teams and Campbell took third place with 31 points. Points are awarded to the top-six participants in any given event. The fi rst-place performer earns six points, the second fi ve, and so on and so forth until the sixth-place fi nisher who earns a single point. Considering the vast number of participants for each event it can be diffi cult to place at all.

Starting with the mens 55 meter dash Trevor Gomes had the fastest time for Campbell at 7.33. He would fi nish 10th out of over 40 competitors, missing the top six by only a 15th of a second. Roberto Landrau (7.55), Jack Munnelly (7.92), and Noah Repole (8.13) would all participate as well, earning impressive results. It wouldnt be until the 300 meter dash that Campbell earned points. Luke Hogan would boast a time of only 39.85 seconds, earning fourth overall and coming shy of third by only .01 seconds. His time gave Campbell their fi rst points of the meet and showed off the considerable talent that the school had at their disposal. Tevon Pieu (42.02) and Patrick Clifford (48.74) would each participate as well, showing off their own speed and making the school proud.

The 600 meter run would feature four Campbell athletes. Trevor Meyers (1:52.15) and Michael Hood (1:47.83) would each show off their stamina and impress the crowds by coming close to placing for points. Harrison Hidalgo would take sixth overall, earning one point, with a time of 1:36.62. Sam Munnelly would fi nish in second with a time of 1:31.27 and earn fi ve points, contributing handily to Campbells fi nal margins. The 1000 meter run wouldnt earn any points, but Jarrod MacDonald would fi nish with a time of 3:17.25, beating out many of the rival schools participants.

Campbell also wanted to prove that they were able to excel as a team as well as individually and did so in the relays. Campbell

came in sixth for the 4x200 meter relay earning two points, but truly performed well in the 4x400 meter relay, fi nishing second with a time of 3:56.14.

The long jump would see similar results to the other events as Luke Hogan (18 feet 4.5 inches) and Trevor Gomes (18 feet 0 inches) took fourth and fi fth, respectively, earning a total of fi ve points. Thanks to Alex Corbeils work on the shot put Campbell managed to add three more points with a distance of 34 feet 6.5 inches. Noah Repole (32 feet 2.5 inches), Nathan Bazzocchi (31 feet 1.5 inches), and Jacob Bulter (28 feet 10 inches) all came close to reaching the top as well, but barely fell short.

Meanwhile, the women would excel in similar fashion. Savannah Reinitzer would be the only young woman attempting the 55 meter dash and took third with a score of 8.10, only .05 seconds away from the second-place athlete. Reinitzer would also participate in the 300 meter dash, snagging fourth with an impressive time of 46.07. Lauren McInerney (51.96) followed closely behind her, although fell just short of placing in the top six.

The 600 meter wouldnt accumulate any points for Campbell, but still featured four talented performances. Jamie Minervini (1:53.26), Mary Kuczlowski (2:10.93), Nicole Orozco (2:14.15), and Erin Blais (2:22.75) all pushed themselves to obtain exciting times. Soon they too will be in the placement sheets gunning for points.

Sammy Molinari managed to get points by taking second in the 1000 meter run. Her time of 3:21.10 thrashed the other competitors in the event and showed exemplary stamina and speed from the junior. She managed to take second by more than six seconds.

Campbell wouldnt participate in the 4x400 relay, but took third in the 4x200 meter relay. Their time of 2:17.03 earned them eight points, and that point total would only go up as the fi nal events were completed. Merceidiz Diaz, a sophomore, took second place for the high jump with a height of 4 feet 8 inches. Her height beat out the third-place fi nalist by an entire eight inches and earned the school fi ve points for the meet. This was followed up by a glorious performance by Lexi Putzlocker who took fi rst overall for the shot put. Her distance of 28 feet 7.5 inches was by far the best of the night and put the fi nishing touches on an astounding night for the school.

by Mike BourkBedford jumped out to

a 28-19 fi rst quarter lead, and, although Alvirne hung close to the Bulldogs, they were never able to overtake them and lost 66-58.

Alvirne fell behind early in the game. It might have been a much greater defi cit had it not been for Max Bonney-Liles 12 fi rst-quarter points. He had a team-high 20 for the game. In the second quarter the Broncos outscored the Bulldogs 13-10 and trailed 38-32 at the half.

Fouls proved to be the undoing of Alvirne as they committed 21 fouls to just 13 for Bedford. This led to the Bulldogs going to the free throw line 27 times, making 22 attempts compared to just 14 trips to the charity stripe for Alvirne where they made just eight shots. The 22-8 successful free throws advantage was too much for the Broncos to overcome. Danny Brown scored 16 points for the Broncos and DJ LaMothe added 14.Alvirne drops a heartbreaker in Manchester

This was a game of ebbs and fl ows. Trinity would build up a lead and Alvirne would battle back. In the end, the Broncos efforts fell just short as they lost in overtime 66-61.

In the fi rst quarter the Pioneers jumped out to a 9-0 lead. Alvirne Coach Brian Lynch called a time out to regroup his team. Trinity had been running a very methodical weave that was opening up their forwards for easy back-door baskets. The time out and adjustments made by Coach Lynch paid immediate results as, over the next three minutes, the Broncos made a 12-3 run, and by the end of the fi rst quarter Alvirne trailed by just three points, 16-13.

After tying the game at 19 Alvirne ran into some tough luck. One of the toughest calls a referee has to make each night is deciding where or not a drive with contact is an offensive charge or defensive blocking call. The referee is typically focused on the player with the ball and doesnt always see whether or not the defensive play has established his position prior to contact. Generally speaking these calls can go either way. Unfortunately for the Broncos they all went Trinitys way. Three successive charging/blocking calls in the second quarter put the Broncos in a hole and led to a Pioneer 11-0 run, and a 19-19 tie quickly turned into a 30-21 halftime defi cit.

The third quarter was by far the Broncos fi nest effort. Jack Brown and older brother Danny combined for 13 of the teams 17 points in the quarter as they outscored the Pioneers 17-10 to cut the lead to a single basket, 40-38 after three periods. One stat that does not show up in the scorebook is the scrappy play of DJ LaMothe and Jacen Hudson. The two were continually going to the ground, diving for loose balls to force turnovers or jump balls.

The teams traded baskets throughout the fourth quarter with the lead

seldom more than a single basket. It looked like Trinity would win in regulation when they took the lead 55-53 with eight seconds left in regulation. Jack Brown was fouled with just a single tick left on the clock and calmly sank both free throws to send the game into overtime.

In the extra stanza early back-to-back turnovers by Alvirne put the

Broncos behind by six, and they were not able to recover. Juniors Jack Brown, Connor Lambert, and DJ LaMothe led Alvirne with 17, 11, and 10 points, respectively. Senior Co-Captain Danny Brown scored 10 in a well-balanced scoring attack. After the game Coach Lynch talked about the teams performance, I really liked the way the boys kept battling back, never giving up. The missed free throws (16) really hurt us tonight.

The Broncos are now 2-6 in NHIAA Division I play and 4-7 overall this season. The Alvirne regular season record isnt a good indicator of their efforts so far this year. They are a young team, and, as evidenced by these two games, they are hardworking and competitive each time they take the court.

submitted by LMS AthleticsThe Litchfi eld Middle School boys basketball team

defeated the Raymond Rams on Monday by a score of 60-38. The Raiders started off slow in the game but regrouped and focused on defense fi rst. The strategy paid off as they were able to hold the Rams to just three points in the second quarter.

Joaquin Heller caused many turnovers by having quick feet and quicker hands. He turned the steals into layups at the other end of the court on his way to 13 points. Team Captain Carter Vedrani hit a personal milestone scoring his 200th point of the season on his way to a game-high 15 points. Carter and Joaquin have been so steady all season and are both very talented basketball players, said Coach Jason Kohm.

The Raiders opened the game up in the second quarter as they went on a 20-3 run. Ben Marble had eight points in the quarter. Kohm said, It was great to see Ben take quality shots and really key the run in the

second quarter. We moved the ball much better and found open players and Ben was able to take advantage. Justin Pelham had a highlight reel block rejecting a Rams shot off of the glass sending it back to mid court. Pelham also contributed four points and rebounded very well. Dan Collins scored fi ve points including a three-pointer.

When we move the ball well we are tough to defend and it was great to see my kids knock down their shots, we emphasize defense fi rst and then taking good quality shots on the offensive end, said Kohm. This was evident as the Raiders saw 12 out of their 14 players score at least a basket in the game. The other Raiders that scored were Keegan Mills, Will McPherson, Trent Leduc, Matt Dion, Cam Barrett, Jake Taylor and Drew Adamakos. Brendan Rice, one of the Raiders better scorers during the season, spent the game playing unselfi sh basketball and distributed to his teammates. Logan Robinson also had six rebounds.

We hope to carry the momentum into the playoffs and make a run at the championship; I have a talented group of eighth graders led by Vedrani, Heller, Mills and Rice and strong, deep bench, Kohm said.

The Raiders fi nished the regular season with a 12-2 record. The Raiders will receive a bye into the semi-fi nals and host a playoff game next Wednesday.

teams, the Lady Broncos were running the fl oor and denying Trinity any goals. At the end of the fi rst quarter the score was Alvirne 21 and Trinity 12, however, by the half, the Pioneers had closed the gap. As the buzzer sounded it was 32-27 Broncos.

Coach Scott Szuksta noted that Alvirne pulled away in the second half because of full court pressure and solid offensive execution.

Scoring for the home squad were Jess Baker and Katie Bellomo, both with 15 points, followed closely by Amanda Wetmore with 14. While grabbing a lot of tough rebounds Marissa Sweeney threw in eight points. High scorer for the Trinity Pioneers were Maddy Haynes and Hannah Fabiano, both with nine points

Final at the Steckevicz gymnasium was Alvirne 62 and Trinity 41. The Broncos have a season record of 6-3 and are home for the remainder of January facing Concord on the 29th, then Exeter and Keene on Feb. 2 and Feb. 4, respectively.

submitted by the Alvirne-Pelham AvalancheThe Alvirne-Pelham Avalanche has been waiting

for their hard work and dedication to pay off and it is safe to say that everything is fi nally starting to come together. The Avalanche, still confi dent from their victory over North/Souhegan, looked to test their luck against a talented Pinkerton team on Jan. 23. Ultimately, they pulled out a hard-fought 4 to 3 win in an overtime thriller.

After coming out slow in previous games, Alvirne-Pelham realized how important it is to come out strong in the fi rst period. The fi rst 5

minutes of the game was controlled by the Avalanche as they poured shots on the Pinkerton goalie, Jordan Puzzo, but had nothing to show for it. A huge momentum changing save by Puzzo sent the Astros on a 2-on-1 that would lead to their fi rst goal of the game. The Avs would then go on to let the Astros take control but remained trailing 1-0 after one period of play.

The second period was more of the same. The Pinkerton players continued to pile up the shots on Avalanche goalie Curtis Richall, but a two-minute penalty on Andrew OConnor would lead to an Astros power play that would capitalize to put the Avs behind by two goals. Only a few minutes later, the Astros would strike again on a shot from the slot that beat Richall low blocker side. Despite a three-goal defi cit, the Avalanche continued to battle and play hard throughout the period to try to get back into the game. More than halfway through the period, a 5-on-3 power play for the Avalanche would lead to a Matt Diprizio goal assisted by Doug

Herling and Bobby Haverty. A fi red-up Avalanche team then controlled the play for the rest of the game and had a chance to score before the end of the period but an early whistle from the referee put an end to the play. Alvirne-Pelham would go into the locker room trailing 3-1 after two periods of play.

When asked what the mood was like in the room after the second period, Assistant Captain Brendan Parent said, The group was hopeful and optimistic. While still down by two, we knew

we needed to come together if we wanted pull out a win and we had full intentions of doing so. The surging Alvirne-Pelham team did exactly that as they entered the third period looking to shock the Pinkerton Astros.

While continuing to play great defense in front of Curtis Richall, the Avs offensive units of Parent-Richall-Diprizio and OConnor-Herling-Nutter controlled the entire period. It took roughly half the period for the Avalanche to cut the defi cit to one on a goal by Cam Richall assisted by Brendan Parent and Matt Diprizio. A few minutes of intense, back-and-forth hockey was played before the Avs would fi nally complete the comeback. Brendan Parent let a shot go from the top of the right circle that would produce a rebound that would fi nd the stick of Cam Richall and then the back of the net. The last two minutes of regulation would turn out to be just as exciting and extremely physical but the game would go to into an eight-minute sudden death overtime period to determine the winner.

In the four minutes of overtime that was played, the Avalanche totally carried the momentum. The Astros only managed two shots on Alvirne-Pelham goalie Curtis Richall, allowing the Avalanche to go on the attack and look for the win. With less than fi ve minutes left, a wraparound pass by Cam Richall found a streaking Brendan Parent who beat Puzzo glove side to cap off an amazing comeback and win the game in overtime.

Assistant Captain Brendan Parent said that the winning goal was all a big rush but, it never would have happened if the pass was never made or if our goalie wasnt on his game. Im just thrilled that we came out with the win. This win shows what kind of a team the Avalanche really is and what is to come in the future. Consistent goaltending in Curtis Richall and steady scoring from Cam Richall, Parent, Herling and Diprizio should put the Avalanche in a good position to make a run. According to Parent, I believe

this was just the boost that we needed to get the boys going and turn our season around. The Avs played on Jan. 27 at Skate 3 against Pembroke-Campbell and next will face rival Bishop Guertin on Saturday, Jan. 30.

wasnt quite what the Hudson Storm had hoped for. Playing against strong talent in Hudson, and eighth grade teams in Merrimack, the Storm won six of nine games to secure some runner-up hardware.

Entering the Hudson Tournament, the team was expected to minimally, break even in their pool, but instead knocked off the powerful Pelham Pythons, a team that had beaten Hudson handily in the past. Against Pelham, Liam dominated as the game wound down, scoring 13, while Jagger came up with several key rebounds, and chipped in seven points. The Storm went on to beat last years tourney champions, Hampton, to go undefeated in pool play. Hibbie averaged 10 points per game over the weekend, and Jordan had 24 assists. Vinnie had nine points against Londonderry. In his fi rst season of travel ball, Owen provided tough, physical defensive play all weekend.

In the Merrimack Tournament, Charlie provided the spark with his solid play, averaging fi ve points per game. Aiden scored six against rival Londonderry, while Jagger had eight points and eight rebounds. Against Merrimacks eighth grade team, Liam had 15 in a game that went down to the wire. To end pool play, Hudson lost to a tough eight grade ICB squad, with Gianni in the zone from outside (seven points). The Storm entered the Merrimack fi nal - a rematch against ICB. Several players came off the bench to provide the energy to keep Hudson in the game, against the older and much bigger ICB. Nate tied up three potential scoring

possessions for ICB and frustrated their big man, while hauling in three rebounds. Kyle came off the bench and immediately added a 3-pointer to keep the game close. In the end, the Storm could not rally enough to close out ICB, and earned second place in back-to-back tournaments.
