Div. III: ConVal clinches
Posted by: MARC THALER, UnionLeader.com
GOFFSTOWN — The Cougars are heading back to high school football’s Division III postseason.
A late-game defensive stand inside its 30-yard line propelled ConVal of Peterborough to the 21-19 winner-take-all triumph at Goffstown today (Saturday, Oct. 31).
The reward for winning: ConVal clinches the No. 3 playoff seed. The Cougars (5-4 overall, 5-3 Div. III) play No. 2 Portsmouth (8-1, 7-1) next Saturday in the state semifinals.
ConVal quarterback Jon Queen had a 1-yard rushing touchdown. He also tossed 80- and 48-yard scoring strikes to Terry Ellis.
QB Brandon Shea, and running backs Sean McGarry and Jake Staffiere (game-high 131 rushing yards) hit paydirt for Goffstown, which closed its season 3-6 overall and 3-5 in league play.
The Cougars made the program’s first playoff appearance in 2007. Now it’s two times in three seasons.
