Dear fellow Hanoverians:
My on-the-scene reporter (I have reporters now?!) Geoff Hoffman recently sent along the latest news regarding the Hanover High School varsity soccer teams (thanks, Geoff!):
Unfortunately, the girls’ season ended with a 1-2 loss to Oliver Ames on Tuesday. They went ahead 1-0 and it was 1-1 at half, but OA scored the only goal in the 2nd half to take the game. Tough loss – but the girls had a great season in a very competitive Patriot League.
The boys’ team will continue on in the MIAA tournament with a 3-0 home win vs. Norton. Brian Powers scored to make it 2-0 with approximately 7 minutes left in the 1st half with a great move around a Norton defender. With 4 minutes left in the half, the lights went out and after an hour’s delay play continued. Less than 10 minutes into the 2nd half, Brian Powers scored again, taking a feed from Colin Shea and going to the far post for a pretty goal. James Oliver’s goalkeeping was also solid making multiple saves. The Hanover boys’ soccer team plays next at Quincy’s Veterans Stadium tomorrow, Thursday, 11/13 at 7:00 p.m. vs. Pembroke.
