Marauders Beat Bedford 1-0, Host Playoff Semifinals Wednesday

  Jacob Kubik-Pauw scored the only goal of the game in the second half and Hanover beat a strong Bedford team 1-0 in the NHIAA Division 1 quarterfinals Saturday in Hanover.  The Marauders will now host the semifinals on Wednesday, and will play unbeaten Windham, who upset unbeaten Central 2-1 (3-2 penalties).   Hanover and Bedford last met in the 2019 Finals, and produced another top-flight match that was dead even until the 66th minute of the match, when senior striker Henry Aspinwall, Hanover's leading scorer, slid a pass to Kubik-Pauw at the top of the penalty area, freeing him for a shot just inside the left post. It was the junior's second goal of the season.   Hanover's sophomore goalkeeper Ty Nolon played a strong game in goal for the Marauders, making four saves to earn his third shutout of the season.  He made a spectacular diving save early in the game on Bedford's Ricardo Foltron, a constant threat on the left wing for the Bulldogs, whose only loss of the sea

Hanover Soccer Schedule Friday and Saturday/ Uniform Deadline/Grassroot Soccer

 The Marauder Varsity boys, delighted by the 1-0 victory at Bedford by the Hanover girls, will now be training on the turf on Friday from 5:45 - 7:30.   The girls' win over Concord presaged the boys' epic 2-1 win.  Will form hold with Bedford? Hanover hosts Bedford on Saturday at 2:00 in the NHIAA Quarterfinals.  The winner will host the semifinals on Wednesday. This is Hanover's 9th year in Division One.  During that time period, four schools have established themselves as the top teams:  Manchester Central, Concord, Bedford and Hanover.   Exeter and Pinkerton are close, but the numbers don't lie.  In the last nine years, Central, Concord and Hanover have won two titles.  Bedford has won once, and had more first-place finished in the regular season than anyone. In 2012, Hanover's first year in Division One, coming off of a season which saw them win only 11 times and lose at home on penalties in the D2 quarterfinals, the Marauders beat Central in the regular season

Marauders Rally to Beat Concord 2-1 in D1 Playoff Opener

 A unique and very good season for the Marauders got much, much better on Wednesday, as Henry Aspinwall scored with less than three minutes to play to give Hanover a 2-1 victory over Concord in their NHIAA Division One playoff opener.  The Marauders now advance to the quarterfinals, and will host powerhouse Bedford on Saturday at 2:00. Playing their strongest opponent of the season in their first Division One game, Hanover rose to the occasion, shrugging off an early goal to tie the match midway through the first half, and clamping down on a dangerous Concord attack for the rest of the way.  They patiently probed for openings, and struck the decisive goal with Aspinwall's sixth score of the season. Hanover got off to a good start, taking the play in the opening minutes into the Concord end and forcing two corner kicks.  Nathan Subrahmanian had a couple of quality looks, but neither one found the target.  Concord is a quality team.  They have played both Bedford and Central,  and he

Big Announcements: Season-End Celebration, Playoff Update, Uniform Return, A Lecture

 Dear Players, Parents and Friends - We know from past experience that daily readership of this blog is about to drop off a cliff.  We adjure you to hang in there for a week or so as we work to put this unique season to bed.  It's worth hanging in there for a few more postings. First, a Save The Date:  Please mark your calendars (do we do that any more?  Actually mark calendars?) for Thursday, November 12 for our Gala First and Last Ever Hanover Soccer Celebration  at 7:00 on Zoom.  We normally gather all four teams on the gym for our Celebration, with the famous Dessert Buffet, usually some student music, and (short) speeches by the coaches to recognize team members and announce team awards.  We will still have the speeches and awards and brevity and maybe music, but alas no dessert. Perhaps, with Zoom, we might have some juicy highlights. There have been some nice goals scored this year,  most of them by Will Guerin.  Oh, a few others, too.  This event is for players and parents,

Please Return Uniforms Monday and Tuesday

All JV1, JV2 and Freshman players are asked to return their game and practice uniforms on Monday or Tuesday.  There will be collection bins located behind the main entrance desk where Coach Ian Caldwell works.  Uniforms must be washed, folded, bagged and labeled with the player's name.  Please include shirts, shorts, socks, loaner uniform parts, and practice jerseys. Thank you! 

Marauders Rally to Tie Lebanon 2-2 in a Wild Finish

 The final game of the regular season for the Marauders was a hotly-contested match with playoff intensity that resulted in a 2-2 draw with archrival Lebanon. Hanover rallied twice to tie the game, and got the second equalizer with less than two minutes to play.  Nathan Subrahmanian's goal capped a wild finish that saw the Marauder storm the goal on multiple occasions, be denied a clear penalty, and muster to composure to create a classic goal that closed an undefeated regular season. Hanover and Lebanon have played three times in this crazy Covid season, and each one has been well-played and hard fought.  The third in the series, and first one on Lebanon's lush grass pitch, gave both teams plenty to chew on as they prepare for the upcoming playoffs.  Hanover entertains longtime D1 power Concord on Wednesday at 3:00 Friday's match on a cloudy October afternoon, under ideal conditions, started poorly for the Marauders. Lebanon outshot Hanover, took more corner kicks, and gra

Fab Friday Caps the Regular Season

 All four Marauder teams will end the season Friday with great opportunities to honor the game on preferred surfaces. All three sun varsity teams will travel to the turf, having bid a fond farewell Thursday to the Pasture with another productive training session bathed in fall sunlight. The Freshmen are first up at 3:15, playing their third game of the season against the Varsity Girls, who requested the match to help them prep for Tuesday's first-ever Division One playoff game.  The Freshmen will be coached by Ian Caldwell, who knows them well. Once again the visiting team, they will wear white (hoping that the mud stains come out).  Spectators are allowed. Next, the JV1 and JV2 teams will square off at 4:30 with an epic intramural match. Coaches Bucket and Willie have drafted two even teams.  We will have professional referees. Will the Triangle be broken up?  Will Augie A free kick? Which freshman goalkeeper will step up and be the man of the match?  Please note that the campus w

JV2 and Freshmen Cap the Season With a Classic

 Soccer seasons don't always end the way they are drawn up. The best laid plans can be waylaid by pandemics, bad weather, and bad fortune.  But good luck, and great results, are sometimes the residue of good planning.  After a long, long season (since June, for many of these players), it would be understandable if fatigue and stress and ennui would make it hard to stage an epic game.  Yet on Wednesday afternoon, with the slanting sunlight illuminating the dappled orange foliage surrounding The Pasture, the JV2 and Freshman teams staged a classic.  The final match in a long intramural series was the best one played, and came down to the wire before the Freshmen eked out a 2-1 victory.  It was truly, though, a match with all winners.  Both teams shrugged off distractions, made no excuses, and went after each other with skill and tactical maturity. The depth and quality of the Hanover program was on full display. The match started typically, with the Freshmen gaining a territorial edg

Schedule for Tuesday and the Week Ahead/ And Playoffs!

 We're still taking things a day at a time, but here is what we know for Tuesday, and also the week ahead: JV1, JV2, and Freshmen will all train at Dresden Tuesday from 4:00 - 5:30.  Nice, normal training day.The Varsity will take their night shift on the turf Tuesday from 7:45 - 9:15. On Wednesday, JV1 will play their strongest rival, the Kearsarge Varsity on 6:00 at Kearsarge under the lights. The team will gather at 4:00 for temperature checks and then depart.  Parent drivers will be helpful.

They will begin practicing PKs. We are still scheduled to play Keene on Friday with Varsity and JV.  We have our best people working on this.  Stay tuned. A week from Wednesday, Oct.  28, the Varsity will host a first

Keene Games Cancelled Monday

 The Varsity and JV1 games scheduled at Keene have been cancelled/postponed by Keene.  Please share this information within your circles. We are grateful for the many parents who volunteered to drive, and provide snacks. Our tentative plan, not yet confirmed, is to have both teams gather at the turf from 4:30 - 6:00 for a joint scrimmage.  There will be 50 players, so playing time will not be even/fair.  Please check back by 1:00 today for confirmation, and updates on the rest of the week.

Varsity and JV1 Head to Keene Monday; No Training for Freshman, JV2

The Marauder Varsity and JV1 teams will travel to Keene on Monday.  Dismissal is 2:15.  All players should come immediately to the lobby for temperatures and then change and get on the bus. Here is a challenge.  Keene does not allow parent spectators.  But we need some parents from each team to drive players, since there is not enough room on the bus.  I do not want to limit players from coming, but we may have too.  I am looking for a parent willing to drive, and then not attend.  There is a great bookstore in Keene, Toadstool books.  Good outdoor coffee shops and great wifi.  Please tell me if you can volunteer. We are also looking for a few volunteers to bring sacks for the JV1 bus.  We need 24 Gatorades, 24 bananas, 24 bagels.  Can you help? There is no Freshman or JVs training Monday.  Both teams will train Tuesday, and then play each other in an epic game on Wednesday with referees and yellow cards and everything.  With Soren's rumored promotion to JV1, it could be a challeng

Hanover Soccer Supports Grassroot Soccer

 Most of you are well aware that we try to help our players become aware of opportunities to serve others by supporting both local and worldwide charities.  We have raised more than $3,000 for LISTEN and for the recently-concluded CROP Hunger Walk.  We have just learned that we have been selected as the only school in NH to host a Grassroot Soccer benefit game this Friday in our home finale against Keene at 4:00. Grassroot Soccer is one of our favorite not-for-profits, founded by HHS and Dartmouth grad Dr. Tommy Clark.  Over several decades, Grassroot has helped educate more than 2.3 million children in many countries, primarily in Africa, about education and testing for HIV/AIDS.  Several Hanover Soccer alums have worked in Africa with Grassroot as interns and staff members.  Last year, led by Captain Charlie Adams, the Marauders raised nearly $2,000 for Grassroot Soccer.  Charlie is lending his energy to help with this year's effort as our Honorary Co-Chair.

Communication and Apology

 Dear Parents and Players - Earlier this afternoon I wrote and published a blog post attempting to convey information about the positive COVID test at HHS and its ramifications for the soccer program.  In my haste, I made an error which may have caused some of you unnecessary concern, and I am deeply sorry for that.  Additionally, I broke confidentiality guidelines which I should have known. There are no excuses.  Good intentions cannot justify the potential harm that I caused at a highly stressful time, and I am sorry.  I will endeavor to be better as we try to move forward together, and keep each other safe. - Rob Grabill

Soccer Program Continues

The HHS Soccer program will continue as scheduled, following all of the carefully-planned protocols by SUA and State authorities. The Varsity will train at 6:15 Friday and from 2:00 - 4:00 Sunday on the turf.  The Varsity and JV will play at Keene on Monday, with a 2:15 dismissal.  JV2 wil train Monday at 4:00 at Dresden.  JV1, JV2 and Freshmen will train at 4:00 Tuesday at Dresden.  

Freshman, JV2 Training Cancelled; JV1 Game Cancelled: Varsity Training Still On

 The Freshman and JV2 Training sessions today at Dresden have been cancelled. The JV1 game at Kearsarge has been postponed until need Wednesday. Varsity training at HHS Turf at 6:15 is still on, for now.  Check back at 4:00 to confirm.

Marauders Beat Lebanon 2-0 in Playoff-Quality Game

 Games between Hanover and Lebanon have always let the teams bring out the best in each other. Thursday night on the Merriman-Branch turf was no exception, as the two teams battled for 80 minutes with playoff intensity before two goals in the final 13 minutes gave the Marauders a well-earned 2-0 victory.  Murphy Hunt and Will Guerin scored in a three-minute stretch, both assisted by Zane Schiffman, and Hanover's record improved to 7-0-0n with two games remaining in the regular season. The Marauders had beaten Lebanon 2-1 on a last minute goal by Evan Nichols early in the season, and after a steady menu of earnest but undermanned Division Two and Three teams, they were anxious for a quality match.  Lebanon, despite a week-long Covid layoff, was more than willing to play the role of potential spoiler. Hanover established a good territorial edge in the early going, and began to knock on the door in the 7th minute after earning their first corner kick, with Jackson Lake drifting a shot

JV2 Plays Best Game of The Season, Beats Lebanon 5-3

A Night at Merriman-Branch: Hanover 5 - Lebanon 3 It's been a trying and unusual season for the Hanover Boys JV2 Soccer Team, but the team has shown that they're always hungry for challenge. On a perfect Thursday evening on the fabled Merriman-Branch Memorial Turf the boys faced their toughest challenge yet, a match with an impressive Lebanon JV squad in what I like to call the "I-89 Derby". Having dealt with a week of formation and tactic changes from Coach Bucket the JV2 Boys lined up in a 4-4-2, looking for defensive solidity and the hope of catching a well-drilled Lebanon team on the counter-attack. Although the defensive rigidity of the squad did not disappear after kick-off, the fear of allowing Lebanon too much of the ball and catching them on one-off counter-attacks did. The Hanover boys, from the first whistle, took their best game of the season, so far, straight to Lebanon's defensive third.  Almost immediately from the start, Forward Augie Krawitt displ

Hanover Hosts Lebanon in Home Doubleheader

The soccer season resumes Thursday with a pair of games on the hallowed turf of Merriman-Branch Field. JV2 hosts the Lebanon JVs at 5:00, followed by a 7:00 Varsity game.  Each player is allowed two parent/family spectators, who will be required to wear wristbands.  The wristbands will be available to players from Coach Caldwell at the HHS front desk beginning at 10:00 Thursday. As noted in a message today from Superintendent Badams, the HHS policy allows students who live in Vermont to participate in all school activities, including sports.  Any updates will be published in the blog as they occur.  Please check the blog Thursday by Noon, just to be sure. Thanks to all of the players and parents who contributed to the CROP Hunger Walk.  HHS Soccer players raised over $2,000, and became the top fundraising group.  The fundraising closes on Friday night, so there is a final chance to contribute if you have not yet done this. Thank you!  https://www.crophungerwalk.org/lebanonnh/

Marauders Prep For The Week Ahead

 Wednesday will be a training day for all for teams after a rain-soaked day off Tuesday.  The JV1, JV2 and Freshman teams will all practice at Dresden from 4:00 - 5:30, and the varsity will train on the HHS Turf from 7:15 - 9:00.   The Freshmen and JV2 teams will scrimmage on Wednesday.   The JV2s will step up on Thursday and play the Lebanon JVs at 5:00 Thursday on the HHS Turf.  Players will be given two wristbands each for parents who wish to watch the game.  Earlier this season the JV1s beat Lebanon 2-1 in the same location. The Varsity will be prepping for a 7:00 match on Thursday with their Lebanon arch rivals.  Hanover beat the Raiders 2-1 with a last-minute goal in the opening game of the season. Lebanon has been unbeaten since then against local rivals, and will be playing with one practice under their belts after a week off for Covid contact tracing.  Varsity players will also get wrist bands on Wednesday at practice. The JV1 return to action Friday with a road trip to Kearsa

Soccer Tournament Information

 Here is what we know about the NHIAA Soccer Tournament: Teams will be divided into four regions, geographically.  They have not been announced yet.  No idea how they will fit Hanover into a geographical region, but there is a rumor we will be in a Group of Death with Concord, Bedford and Central.  Bring it. Team will be seeded in regions.  I am sure our dominant record against D3 teams will work in our favor.  Tournament games will be start on Oct. 26, with games on the 28th and 30th.  The semifinals and fails are on November 2 and 6.  No locations have been announced. No idea whether we will be allowed to travel to areas with higher COVID.  We will take this a day at a time, and be grateful for all we have been given.

All Tuesday Training Cancelled

 All Tuesday practice sessions for all four teams have been cancelled. We will resume our regular schedule on Wednesday.

Tuesday Updates: Lebanon Games Cancelled

 There will be school at HHS on Tuesday.  The Varsity and JV2 games at Lebanon have been cancelled.  There may be a hame game with Mascoma, but that has not been confirmed.  The current plan is f4or all four HHS boys teams to train at Dresden from 4:00 - 5:30. This may be subject to change, depending o the weather and scheduling updates.  Be SURE to check the blog Tuesday morning.

Game and Practice Schedule October 12-16

Here is our schedule for the week, with some very important caveats.  There is a lot up in the air.  We are scheduled to play gams with Lebanon this week.  They have postponed all sporting activities through Monday.  They have not trained in a week.  We will know much more either Monday or Tuesday, but it will be crucial to stay tuned.  Note also that the games at Lebanon require parent transport to and from the games.  Players will take temperatures after school, and then go to the game. Carpools are permitted. The games with Woodsville, scheduled for Wednesday, have been postponed, specifically because of the two positive tests in the Hanover system. It is very possible that we will switch the teams playing in given games, given other postponements or cancellations.  We also need to be prepared for Hanover sports, training and games, to be postponed or cancelled.  Again, we will know more Monday or more likely Tuesday morning.  Check this blog frequently. It will be the best source f

Seniors Shine on Their Day; Marauders Top Mascoma

 Senior Day for the Marauders met high expectations before the game and exceeded them during the match, allowing Hanover to celebrate a 4-1 victory on a sparkling all afternoon. All healthy members of the class of 2021 participated in game, and many of them took leading roles, as the Marauders dismissed a good Mascoma side.  Hanover dominated the match from start to finish, allowing only a penalty kick goal, outshooting the Royals 30-5 and running their record to 6-0-0. Hanover started 11 seniors, three for the first time, and looked polished from the start.  Matias Lee and Tom Lyons were right at home at center back, and Owen Stannard was very comfortable at center midfield. Jackson Lake continued making strong contributions offensively, nearly connecting while seated during a goalmouth scramble nine minutes into the game, and then hitting a strong shot on goal three minutes later,  forcing Mascoma goalkeeper Connor Thompson to make a good diving save. Hanover did a good job containin

News Flash! Saturday's Game Will Be Live-Streamed!

Senior Day Saturday 1:00 vs. Mascoma

 As the days shorten and autumn beckons, we become more grateful for every session, every playing opportunity in this unique season.  Saturday at Merriman-Branch Field, the Marauders host a feisty Mascoma team at 1:00, a match preceded at 12:30 by Senior Day ceremonies.  Both teams will be involved.  We will name and briefly the nine Mascoma seniors.  The Royals made a deep playoff run in Division 3 last year, and return an experienced team, led by junior scoring ace Ben Seiler, who recently passed the 50-goal mark.  They see this match with the Marauders as a measuring stick, and a chance to harden themselves for their anticipated playoff run. The Marauders will proudly honor 14 seniors.  There are 11 Varsity players, player/manager Owen Stannard, and JV players Mathew Cabrejo and Jackson Liu.  The Marauder seniors are: Henry Aspinwall Mitch Aspinwall Pierce Hamlin Dylan Kotlowitz, Captain Jackson Lake Matias Lee Tom Lyons Tucker Monson Nathan Subrahmanian, Captain Alexander Stevens,

Marauders Beat Hartford 3-1 to Remain Unbeaten

 This was one of those afternoons that we dream about when we're putting in all of the hard work.  On a crisp, luminous fall afternoon, on a huge, pristine grass pitch, playing a respected local rival, the Marauders played 80 minutes of excellent soccer to defeat local rival Hartford 3-1.  Henry Aspinwall scored twice to pace Hanover, which remained unbeaten with a 5-0-0 record. Playing on the huge, beautiful Maxfield Sports Complex field, the Marauders were able to spread out and dominate possession, outshooting Hartford 35-3 and controlling play for long stretches.  The well-organized Hurricane defense was strong in front of goalkeeper Shane Miller, but there was a sense of inevitability about the match. It took the Marauders a while to settle into the contest, but Eric Ringer fired a warning salvo 15 minutes into the match,  forcing Miller to tip it over the bar. Miller made another nice play 10 minutes later, deflecting a Henry Aspinwall lefty turnaround over the bar.  Just a m

Weather Update: JV1 and Freshman Games Postponed. JV2 Training Postponed. Varsity Practice on as Scheduled

 Due to the weather, Mascoma has postponed the JV1 and Freshman games scheduled for this afternoon.  The JV2 training at Dresden at 4:00 is cancelled.  The Varsity training for 7:17 tonight will be held on the turf as scheduled.

Two Teams Head to Mascoma; Varsity Switches Practice Yet Again; Freshmen Play Varsity Girls Friday.

 Hoping to brave the predicted rain showers, the JV1 and Freshman teams will head down Rt. 4 to Mascoma High School for a pair of games Wednesday.  The JV1s will play Mascoma's varsity at 3:30 (leaving HHS at 2:00), and the Freshmen will play at 5:00, leaving at 3:00.  Al players need to be temperature checked at HHS prior to departure, whether or not they are riding with parents. Please contact Coach Grabill or Coach Johnson if you plan to drive with parents.  Parents are allowed to spectate. Any time rain is forecast, players should pack a white kitchen garbage bag in their sports bag.  Valuable for covering you bag up.  Also, bring a dry short and socks to change into after the game. We don't mind playing in the rain. Mascoma High School is on Rt. 4 in Canaan, just over the line fro Enfield.  Take 89 south, take the Exit for Rt, 4 East to Enfield, and after a long straightaway in West Canaan, the school is on the left.  27 Royal Road, Canaan, NH 03741. The Varsity will train

Soccer Schedule Updates

The JV1 Game at Mascoma is at 3:30, with the bus leaving HS at 2:00.  The Freshman Game is at 5:00, with the bus leaving at 3:00.  The earlier blog schedule had reversed these games.  The Varsity will practice at Camp Merriwood in Orford, NH on Wednesday from 4:00 - 5:30.  Merriwood is located on Rt. 25A, 45 minutes from Hanover.  Please plan accordingly. Please consider not being too concerned about a 45-minute trip one time.  The seven players on the team from Lyme, who have been making long drives to and from practice, since June, think that a 20-minute round trip is a great idea. The field at Camp Merriwood is worth the drive, and will help us prepare for playing at Hartford on Thursday. The Varsity game Thursday at Hartford at 4:30 has been confirmed at the Maxfield Sports Complex on Rt. 5 in White River Junction, five minutes south of the VA Hospital.  All players must temperature check at the high school before coming to the game, whether or not they are being driven by parents.

JV2 Beats Newport on the Road, 9-1

 By all accounts, the Newport Varsity team that succumbed to the Marauder JV2s at the start of the season was much improved.  Unfortunately for the Tigers, three weeks with Bucket has also improved the Hanover side, and they cruised to a 9-1 victory on Monday, celebrating the chance to frolic outdoors on a crisp fall afternoon. It took a while for the Marauders to settle into the game and avoid the offside bug, but 20 minutes into the match Soren Stettenheim, the apex of the Triangle of Death, gave them a 1-0 lead with a solo effort. Two minutes later Ayaan Ahmad set up Henry Werner to double the lead.  Augie Krawitt made the score 3-0 with 10 minutes left in the half, and Ruslan Henry made the score 4-0 with a powerful right-footed volley into the upper left corner to close out the half. Hanover resumed the attack in the second half, as Augie Krawitt slid a pass to Stettenheim with the outside of his foot to give Soren his second.  Henry Werner, who never passes up an opportunity to p

Monday Schedule Update - JV2 Game at 4:45, Departure at 3:15

 The JV2 game at Newport has been pushed back to 4:45.  The bus will leave at 3:15.  There will be no early dismissal from classes. Players should come to the lobby after school for temperature checks and to change. - Rob

Busy Week Begins - JV2s on The Road; Two Teams Train on Turf

 It's another busy week ahead, with all four teams playing at least one game, and a busy training schedule. JV2 will play at Newport on Monday.  Players are dismissed at 2:15, and cannot leave class before then.  After dismissal, they will gather in the Athletic Lobby for temperature checks, change into white uniforms, and depart at 2:30.  The match is at 4:00 at Newport High School,  located north of town on Rt. 10.  Take the Grantham Exit and head south.  Players traveling with parents, please contact Coach Ian or Coach Grabill.  Parents are allowed to watch the match. The Varsity will train on the HHS Turf from 3:15 - 4:45.  JV1 will train on the turf from 7:00 - 8:45.  JV! players may begin to come on the field on the bleacher side after the girl's soccer game is over and opposing team has left, wearing masks.  The Girls' Varsity will be having Senior Night ceremonies.  JV players may warm up quietly on the far end of the turf.  The Freshmen will train at Dresden as sch
