DERRY — Jack Hanaway still has an ultimate goal that might surpass yesterday's excitement, but it's doubtful the Pinkerton senior will forget the day he turned into Robert Griffin III in the state quarterfinals.

LONDONDERRY - Eric Fairweather came close, real close, to reaching two milestones in Londonderry's 22-13 victory over Nashua South. Fairweather, the Lancers QB, reached 1,031 yards on the ground for the season with his 140 rushing yards Friday. But he just missed reaching the 1,000-yard passing plateau. With his 134 yards passing against Nashua South, Fairweather now has 981 yards passing for the season. He has a chance to reach that statistical milestone in a huge game against Salem next Friday at Salem High. Fairweather was his usual dominant self Friday. He rushed for TDs of 63 and 5 yards and also connected with receiver Nick Donnelly for a 17-yard TD score. But the QB did throw three interceptions as Nashua South made a comeback after trailing 22-0 in the fourth quarter. Michael Ryan added six rushes for 69 and Jimmy Nee ran three times for 24 yards. David Wiedenfeld caught two passes for 48 yards. Salem, meanwhile, beat Nashua North 12-7 on Friday. Salem and Londonderry both enter next Friday's Halloween game with 7-1 records. The winner of that game goes to the playoffs and the other team's season will end.

HUDSON — Londonderry quarterback Eric Fairweather rushed 14 times for 183 yards and one touchdown to lead Londonderry 41-15 over Alrvine.

The Lancers recorded 413 total yards while Alvirne had 325 yards more plays. But Alvirne had two costly interceptions. Lancers’  Jimmy Nee intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown during the fourth quarter. Dennis Bishop rushed three times for 84 and a TD while Kyle Byrd carried six times for 68 yards.
