Third-seeded Hollis-Brookline rallied from a three-goal deficit entering the final quarter to force overtime before upending fourth-seeded Pelham 9-8 for the Division 3 state title.

Pelham, playing in its first championship match, led  by four midway through the third quarter behind strong play by Alec Paradis, who had three goals. Harley Kierney and Nick Morin scored three and two goals, respectively as the Pythons ended the season 14-3.

The fourth time was the charm for Pelham.

After losing three times in the Division 3 semifinals, the Pythons doubled up previously unbeaten Derryfield, 6-3, to earn a berth in tomorrow's final against a Hollis-Brookline team they beat earlier this season.

Keston Beauregard pumped in five goals and Alec Paradis added four goals and three assists as Pelham doubled up on Gilford, 14-7, in the Division 3 quarterfinals. Paradis now has 105 points (65 goals) on the season. He's the first Python ever to crack 100 points in the 8-year history of the program said coach Matt Regan.

With eight goals and three assists, senior Alec Paradis established single-game school records at Pelham for goals scored and points (11) as the Pythons cruised past Con-Val 15-3.  Paradis' eight-goals adds to his single-season school record, which is now at 52. To add to his impressive day, Paradis now has 100 career goals which ranks him second behind current teammate Nick Morin, who had three goals in yesterday's win.

Senior Alec Paradis scored six times to boost his season goal-total to 44 and set a new Pelham school record.  The previous record (42) was set last year year by Nick Morin, who had four goals in yesterday's win. Keston Beauregard scored five timesfor Pelham (9-2).

Pelham's lacrosse team certainly learned its lesson. After seeing a substantial lead against unbeaten Derryfield disappear on Monday, the Pythons built on their advantage yesterday en route to a 10-5 win over Hollis-Brookline. Kevin DeAngelo was "fantastic" on faceoffs according to coach Matt Regan, winning 13 of 17 to give extra possessions that Keston Beauregard (four goals) and Nick Morin (three goals) took advantage of.

Pelham lacrosse star Nick Morin, a senior, netted his 100th career goal as Pelham cruised past Hopkinton, 9-4.

Alec Paradis, who missed the entire lacrosse season last year with an ACL and MCL injury, scored three goals and added three assists in Pelham's 8-3 victory over Kearsarge.
