    Early Results

    DI BOYS: Exeter boys made a statement with their win over Hanover. The Marauders could be in for a long season in DI this year. Londonderry, Central, and Pinkerton will all be in the mix as well. Concord could be a sleeper in DI...

    DII BOYS: When it is all said and done Bow, Windham, Pembroke and Oyster River will play for the finals... Contrary to a previous post here - Lebanon will NOT be strong this year. The sleeper could be Coe-Brown due to a kind schedule but they lack the depth to go far in the playoffs

    DIII BOYS: Who knows? There are 6 good teams and the rest of the programs struggle. With the huge numbers in DIII its impossible for teams to play a quality schedule. Gilford, Belmont, Derryfield, Raymond, and Hopkinton could all win the title.

    DI GIRLS: Concord, Bedford, and Exeter will be tough to beat. Londonderry could make noise too

    DII GIRLS: Bow, Portsmouth, Souhegan, and John Stark are tough. Stark is interesting as they are the strongest team in the division but have a new coach after winning a title last year. Portsmouth could be the spoiler.

      On another note:

      The rumor is that the NHIAA is looking at moving the Divisional alignment numbers and there could be some significant changes next year to NHIAA soccer.

      Option 1 is to change the enrollment numbers for all 4 divisions to spread the number of teams out.

      Option 2 is to move to 5 divisions. Probably the best option as DIII and DIV are so weak after the top 3 or 4 teams that it could help some schools build their programs.

          No, just horrible soccer. As expected.

              Exactly. Just like the horrible soccer in Academy, College, Professionals in the United States. At least we should all feel comforted in that fact.

                New Hampshire referees are pitiful.

                  You would be as well if you had to referee horrible soccer.

                    I agree that it is horrible soccer but the slow pace at which it is played makes the calls even easier to call yet the referees either don't care enough, don't have the courage enough, or, again, are just ignorant of the rules.

                    Like anyone else, they are being paid to do a job. Why not do it right or at least appear to put in the effort?

                      The horrible soccer must rub off on the referees.

                        Absolutely horrible. Get a center ref and two kids as assistant refs. Probably save money and improve the overall reffing.

                        Oh but please make sure the center ref can actually move and follow the game up and down the field.

                        Ok I pushed it with that last request.

                          Not sure I want my kid running the lines so close to some of that commentary.

                          Reality is I know there are refs now who no nothing about the game doing it in places. They are refs/umps of other sports, and have taken on soccer as a necessity. Sadly, all the experts are all on the sidelines.

                            Nashua South Girls have developed into serious contender.

                              Really? They have lost to 3 of the top 5 and haven't played the other 2 yet. Will be interesting to see how they handle Alvirne Friday, should be an evenly matched game. Telegraph is spinning the game as a new rivalry between schools and their top players. Let's see if either team can crack into the top 5, either way, both teams have definitely improved over last years results.
