  DOVER — Needing a strong offensive showing in its regular-season finale, Timberlane instead closed out its year with the type of inconsistency the Owls have shown all season.

PLAISTOW — Thanks to the Timberlane defense, Nick Lawrence got a much-needed break in the second half last night.

Seen icing his sore legs earlier in the day, Lawrence rushed for 88 yards and two TDs in the first two quarters and went 60 yards on a swing pass for another score as the Owls built a 31-0 halftime lead over Spaulding on their way to an easy 38-7 victory.

KEENE — Trailing 13-10 at the break, Keene found the best way to slow down Timberlane standout Nick Lawrence — by not letting him get a shot at the ball.

A crushing third-quarter where the Blackbird offense ran all but three of the period's plays turned the tide and lifted the hosts to a 31-14 victory last night.

PLAISTOW — Timberlane used a heavy dose of running back Nick Lawrence as the Owls pulled off yet another upset last night.

With weather conditions favoring a solid rushing attack, the Owls knocked off the state’s top-ranked team last night with a convincing 26-14 victory over previously-undefeated Winnacunnet in a crucial Division 2 game.

SALEM — With a triple threat attack of Jerickson Fedrick, Max Jacques and Matt Cannone, Salem's offense is above reproach and virtually unstoppable. The Blue Devil defense, however, had not risen to the same standard over the first half of the season.

HUDSON, N.H. — Timberlane sophomore Joshua David spent many mornings this past offseason hearing his alarm clock sound at 4:45 a.m.

David woke up at that early hour at least twice every week to lift weights with coach Kevin Fitzgerald and some teammates, including Brian Hassard, Cam Gargano, Anthony Gillis and Connor Sproul.

MANCHESTER — Nick Lawrence had to admit, he was a bit worn out while leaving the field.

“I’m pretty exhausted,” he said with a laugh. “I was running pretty hard.”

PLAISTOW — Was Timberlane a much tougher opponent than Bishop Guertin expected?

Just ask star quarterback Steve Cuipa, who was seen limping off the Plaistow gridiron last night after a hard-earned, deceptive 21-6 victory over the Owls.

 DERRY, N.H. — As one of only nine seniors on the roster, Pinkerton senior co-captain Luke Somers feels responsibility to set an example for the younger Astros.

“It feels good to be a leader on this team,” said Somers. “We’ve worked really hard and I think we’re getting better.”
