HAVERHILL — The result wasn’t a surprise, but the road to it opened some eyes.

Pentucket, from the suburban Cape Ann League, wasn’t given much of a shot last night against a Haverhill team battle-tested in the rugged Merrimack Valley Conference. Besides, the Sachems already had a Greater Haverhill Christmas Tourney loss to Timberlane, which was annihilated by the Hillies Monday night.
