Dear fellow Hanoverians:
I think I might have to hire Geoff Hoffman to be my “boots on the ground” when it comes to writing up and sending me a terrific summary of Hanover soccer news! Thanks, Geoff for the following updates, and congrats to Hanover’s soccer teams! I was “next door” at the Middle School watching my HYAA kids kick the ball around and could hear the roar of the high school crowd all afternoon last Saturday!
Great crowds at both the Hanover girls and boys MIAA soccer tournament games helped provide good news.
Girls went up 3-0 vs. Hopkinton, only to fall behind 3-4 with approx 7 minutes left. Nevertheless, the girls fought back with 2 goals in those last 7 minutes to win 5-4. They travel to Oliver Ames TODAY, Tuesday 11/11, with a game time of 12:00 noon. The only downer was Ann Ward broke her arm halfway thru the 2nd half.

The boys also went up 3-0 and held on for a 3-1 win vs. Sacred Heart. Colin Shea had a monster game with a couple of assists and a goal. More good news: the #1 seed in our bracket, Harwich lost. Therefore, Hanover will host the 2nd round game vs. Norton at Hanover High School TODAY at 4:00 p.m., Tuesday, 11/11. Link: http://miaa.statebrackets.com/tmenu.cfm?tid=1074 .
A lot of people have TODAY (Tuesday) off – it would be great to get another huge crowd to watch both teams play!
