FAIR HAVEN, Vt. The second half belonged to the Hartford High boys basketball team in a VPA Division II showdown at Fair Haven on Tuesday night. The Hurricanes erased a seven-point halftime deficit to beat the host Slaters, 57-51, in a potential postseason preview.
Hartford’s Brandon Potter drew the assignment of guarding Fair Haven star Kohlby Murray and Potter was more than up to the task, holding Murray to just 13 points. Potter countered that with 13 points of his own to settle that battle at a draw.

Staff Reports
CONCORD Should the Concord High boys hockey team require any references or reviews as it moves on in the NHIAA Division I state tournament, longtime Hanover coach Dick Dodds would probably be happy to help.
Dodds and his Marauders (3-10-0) saw their season come to a close on Wednesday night in a 5-1 first-round tournament loss to the Tide (13-2-0) at Everett Arena. Senior Tom Lyons scored Hanover’s only goal, and goalie Luke Ives kept busy with 35 saves.
The Marauders had the misfortune of running into Concord at both ends of its schedule. The Tide, which ended last year’s pandemic-stopped tourney as co-champions with Bedford, recorded 4-0 and 8-2 wins over Hanover to open the year and closed it in similar fashion.
