MERRIMACK, N.H. The way Stevens High bowling coach Shawn Wadsworth sees it, his Cardinals may have won the NHIAA state team championship at home on Saturday, not Sunday in the final two rounds at Merrimack Ten Pin.
The COVID-19 pandemic left the Cardinals with weekly geography-based competition with Keene and Hillsboro-Deering this winter. Stevens could handle H-D but could never solve the Blackbirds … until Saturday, when the Cards earned a three-game quarterfinal sweep of Keene at Maple Lanes to advance to Sunday’s final four.

WEST CANAAN Progress should be measured in milestones. It took seven seasons, but Stevens High girls basketball coach Ivy Condon claimed a big one on Thursday.
Freshman Kiley Bundy scored 13 points and hit three key free throws in the fourth quarter as Stevens edged Mascoma, 41-35, in an NHIAA Division III preliminary-round tournament win at Kehoe Gymnasium. That gave Condon, the Cardinals’ seventh-year coach, her first postseason victory.
The foul-line effort proved essential for the Cards. The Royals (1-13) held Stevens without a fourth-quarter field goal, requiring a 7-for-13 effort at the charity stripe for Condon’s crew to secure victory.

SOUTH ROYALTON Sixteen points in the third quarter proved pivotal for the White River Valley girls basketball team, which took down visiting Green Mountain by a 36-31 final on Friday night.
The win is the first in a pair of games for the Wildcats this season. Despite this being the home opener in this abbreviated schedule, WRV also celebrated senior night. Senior Toni Turner helped set the pace with seven points while pulling down 15 rebounds. Fellow seniors Fiona Vaillancourt (three points) and Chelsie Trask also had key roles.
