LONDONDERRY — After seeing an untimely penalty give Nashua South a late 1-point lead, Matt Charest answered with a 32-yard field goal with 18 seconds remaining to give Londonderry a 31-29 victory and keep its Division 1 playoff hopes alive.

Now at 5-3 in league play, the Astros will advance to the postseason if Manchester Central loses next week to league-leader Salem. The Little Green stayed in contention with their 21-10 defeat of Pinkerton last night.

Despite suffering a pair of fumbles inside the Panther 10-yard line in the game, Londonderry was able to climb to a 28-13 lead early in the fourth quarter. Running backs Joey McLaughlin (176 yards, 2 TDs) and Sean O’Gorman (104 yards) had long-distance romps to paydirt wrapped around a fumble recovery and 25-yard return by Mike Wiedenfeld.

However, South answered on a Keith Farkas TD pass and conversion run along with Derek Paradise’s 2-yard TD tote. And after the Astros were whistled for a roughing the kicker penalty on the tying point-after, the Panthers went for two and took the lead on Nick Haskell’s option pass to Nick Frederickson.

But the Lancers stayed composed, driving to field goal range where Charest created the contest’s third and final lead change.
