LONDONDERRY — Salem coach Steve Abraham had a message for his players as the clock ticked down in Saturday's New Hampshire Division 1 semifinal.

"I challenged them," said Abraham. "I told them, no matter what that scoreboard says, you keep swinging until the game's over, and they did. This team has heart."

SALEM - Salem intercepted five Londonderry passes and Tommy Ahlers had another huge game with three more touchdowns (2 runs and a pick-6) as the Blue Devils stunned unbeaten Londonderry 35-21 on Friday night.

LONDONDERRY — As has been the case much of the season, Windham played tough at times, but could not sustain any momentum Saturday afternoon.

Leading just 7-6 after one quarter, the host unbeaten Lancers (6-0) scored 20 unanswered points in the second quarter on their way to  a 42-14 victory.

DERRY, N.H. — Pinkerton will have to wait until at least the postseason for another shot at the archrival it once dominated for nearly 20 years.

The Astros struggled to find consistency on offense, and fell to rival Londondonderry 21-10 in their annual Mack Plaque matchup in front of an estimated 6,000 fired up fans.
