SALEM — With a trip to the Division 1 championship game within reach, Pinkerton’s Josh McCormack would not be denied.

With the Astros clinging to a three-point lead midway through the fourth quarter, McCormack burst through the offensive line, saw the fumble pop loose and grabbed on as tight as he could.

SALEM - It was the perfect game plan, and it was executed near-flawlessly by upset-minded Londonderry in the first half.

Play stout defense, win the turnover battle and milk every possible second of clock on offense against an undefeated Salem team.

SALEM — Josh Sibanda continued his monstrous season, rushing for 221 yards and three touchdowns as Salem beat Londonderry 35-14 to remain unbeaten.

Salem led 28-0 at halftime and never looked back, getting on the board early in the first quarter after Sibanda broke free for a 45-yard rushing TD.

SALEM — The unbeaten Salem football team made short work of Nashua North on Friday night, with Josh Sibanda erupting for 240 yards rushing and three touchdowns to help pace the 60-14 win.

SALEM — Salem had played fine the last three weeks without Josh Sibanda but the unbeaten Blue Devils are still overjoyed to have him back.

The returning Eagle-Tribune offensive MVP, who was nursing a knee injury, scored four touchdowns and Salem sped to a massive 43-7 halftime lead en route to a 43-21 win over Merrimack.

SALEM, N.H. — Understandably, Salem senior middle linebacker Ben Genest liked what he saw when he looked out on the field in the second half Saturday afternoon.

SALEM —  On the second play from scrimmage, Dom Paci bolted 63 yards to paydirt and Salem cruised from there to a dominating 42-0 win over Alvirne.

SALEM — In what turned out to be the sixth largest victory in the history of Salem High School, the Blue Devils continued their hot start to the season with a dominating 57-14 win over Keene. 

NASHUA - Matt Soldano looked to be dead to rights in the open field. The senior Salem quarterback and co-captain took off on a bootleg to the right, but ran out of blockers at the 25-yard-line. Starring down two rushing Nashua South defenders, Soldano used his slender 6-foot-1 frame to split the middle, easily pushing one smaller safety out of his way, then simply outran a third defender into the end zone to cap a 47-yard touchdown run.
