Div. I: Lancers, Little Green win
Posted by: MARC THALER, UnionLeader.com
LONDONDERRY — Matt Charest converted a game-winning 32-yard field goal with 18 seconds remaining in regulation tonight (Friday, Oct. 31) at chilly Lancer Park.
The clutch kick lifted Londonderry to a 31-29 win over defending champion Nashua South, officially eliminated from playoff contention. But the kick didn’t clinch the fourth-and-final Division I playoff berth for the Lancers.
That’s because Manchester Central defeated Pinkerton Academy of Derry tonight at Gill Stadium, 21-10.
Londonderry, which finished its regular-season slate tonight, is 5-4 overall and 5-3 in Division I. Central, which closes its regular-season campaign next week at Salem, improved to 6-3 overall and 5-2 in league action.
So here it is: If Central wins next week, it clinches the playoff berth. If Central loses, the Lancers head to the second season.
