JV vs Monadnock, Sept 26
The Hanover Junior Varsity cruised to a 13-0 victory over Monadnock on Wednesday afternoon. If anyone has more details please send them along.
Varsity vs Monadnock, Sept 26
HANOVER HANDLES MONADNOCK 7-0 TO STAY UNBEATEN
The Marauder varsity earned a one-sided 7-0 victory over a road-weary Monadnock squad Wednesday, improving their record to 8-0-1 and maintaining Hanover’s nine-game streak of scoreless games.
Wave upon wave of Marauder strikers rained 36 shots on or at the Husky goal, while the Hanover defense held the visitors without a shot on goal. Six different players scored, and some of the goals were worthy of a highlight reel.
It took a while for the Marauders to get on the scoreboard, but Hanover’s patient probing began to bear fruit, the stream of goals was a steady one. Eric Barthold got the home team on the board in the nineteenth minute, heading home a long cross from overlapping left back Sam Peterson for his sixth goal of the season. Two minutes later, Henry Caldwell collected the first of his two goals on the day, hitting a ripper off the left upright from outside the penalty area. The third goal of the half came with less than three minutes left on the clock, and it was a carbon copy of the first. Peterson, who has become increasingly devastating with his overlapping runs down the left flank, hammered another long cross across the face of the goal, and junior Yosef Osheyack met the ball at the back post and hammering a header into the side netting for his team-leading eighth goal of the season.
Switching sides for the second half did little to diminish the bombardment of the Monadnock goal. Six minutes after play resumed, Cal Felicetti notched his first goal of the season following one of Hanover’s thirteen corner kicks. Lou Gemunden had hit one of his patented rockets across the box, and after it was knocked around, it fell to the feet of Felicetti, who had drifted to the top of the 18. Acting like the striker he claims to be, he chipped an unstoppable one-timer into the upper left corner for a 4-0 advantage.
The starting strikers found their way into the match after twenty minutes had elapsed, and shortly afterwards Casey Maue collected his fourth goal of the season, taking a nice feed from Osheyack and working free for a turf cutter into the far corner. It was time to sit the starters again, and in came Caldwell and Eric Jayne, just in time to notch a few more goals. Everyone in the match at that point was playing some of the best soccer of the day, unselfishly moving the ball. Aussie Cyrus characterized this sort of play, and after moving at will through the Monadnock defense, he dished a sweet pass to Jayne, who finished clinically for his fifth goal of the season. Six minutes later (and less than a minute from time), Caldwell collected his second goal of the day volleying home a wonderful cross from Gemunden off the left upright. It was Lou’s fifth assist of the season, tying him for second on the team. Ben Harwick and Sam Gest shared the season’s ninth shutout without seeing a shot.
Hoping to find stiffer resistance from a Hollis-Brookline team that has beaten both Lebanon and Souhegan, the Marauders continue their homestand on Saturday. Kickoff is at noon.

Reserves vs Fall Mountain, Sept 24
Playing under the lights and in front of an enthuseastic home crowd, the Reserves came out strong and defeated Fall Mt. 3-1.
Alex Jurado scored first by taking a nice feed from Ty Atkins and burying it in the upper right corner of the goal from 25 yards out. In the third minute of the second half the Reserves stuck again. Leading scorer Sam Hicks found himself on the end of a long pass from Tyung Dam and after beating the goalie buried the ball in the back of the net for his 5th goal of the season. Fall Mt. never gave up and made things interesting by scoring one in the 68th minute, but the reserves came roaring back up field and during a flurry of activity in front of the Fall Mt. goal co-captain Dan Perovich was able to drill home the all important third goal.

Varsity vs Plymouth, Sept 20
HANOVER TOPS PLYMOUTH 5-0; STILL UNBEATEN
The Hanover varsity booters defeated Plymouth 5-0 on Thursday to stretch their unbeaten skein to eight, and in doing so recorded their eighth straight shutout. There are more than 160 high school teams in New Hampshire, and only one of them has yet to allow a goal.
Yosef Osheyack scored twice to take the team lead in the goal scoring department, and Ben Rimmer added two assists to top the table in that department. Eric Barthold added his fifth goal of the campaign, and the Marauders also got sweet scores from Paul Burchard and Kevin Dade.
Coach Grabill shuffled the starting lineup, and four players recorded their first varsity starts, including seniors Paul Buchard and Erik Barth, junior striker Kevin Dade, and sophomore goalkeeper Sam Gest. The Marauders got off to a solid start, establishing a large territorial advantage, but they were looking for a spark when five familiar faces entered the game twenty minutes into the half. Five minutes later, Hanover had a 1-0 lead, and was off and running. Casey Maue was the creator of the first goal, working feverishly in the box to win the ball, hold it, and spin past two Plymouth defenders before spotting Osheyack at the far post for an easy tap-in. Less than a minute remained in the half when Barthold’s goal doubled the lead, killing any hope that Plymouth might have harbored.
Osheyack’s second score of the afternoon came six minutes after play resumed when he
Converted the sweetest assist of the day, a long cross from a speeding Ben Rimmer on the right flank. Ten minutes later, Kevin Dade notched his first career goal, heading home a corner kick from Lou Gemunden, who collected his fourth assist of the season. The last goal of the day was a show-stopping crowd=pleaser, a long-distance drive from Paul Burchard that picked the upper left corner of the Plymouth goal. It was his second upper ninety drive of the season.
All throughout the second half Grabill kept looking further and further down his bench for new faces to get into the game, and by the time the match was over 24 different players had entered, with Peter Young and Joe Carey, on loan from the JV, seeing their first varsity action. Only Ben Harwick was a healthy scratch, despite his nonstop assertions about his prowess as a field player. Hanover’s quality of play remained excellent, but the prospect of seeing the scoreless streak snapped was too much for some of the senior starters. Angus Kennedy curled into a fetal position on the bench, and Matt Wetherell nervously peeled chunks of leather from his Predators.
Those fears were nearly realized with minutes to go in the game when a Plymouth corner kick created a scramble in the box, well-covered by goalie Gest. That near miss paled compared to the final close call, a long-distance rocket shot by Plymouth’s Driscoll that was labeled for the back of the net. Gest was equal to the task, preserving the shutout and The Streak with a highlight-reel dive, levitating to his left to tip the ball over the bar.
The Marauders now have nearly a week off before their next home match, a Wednesday matinee against Monadnock, which will be coming to Hanover for its third game in three days. See you on the rug!

Varsity vs Lebanon, Sept 18
HANOVER BEATS LEBANON 2-0 IN TITLE REMATCH
Hanover stretched its season-opening unbeaten streak to seven games Tuesday with a methodical 2-0 victory over archrival Lebanon. The rematch of last year’s Class I finalists lived up to its billing, featuring a tightly-contested match in front of a large crowd at the Raider pitch. Goals by seniors Eric Barthold and Casey Maue midway through the match provided more than enough of an edge for Hanover, which held a significant edge in play, outshooting their hosts 18-2.
Hanover-Lebanon games are always close contests. The two teams have played eight times in the past two years, and three of those matches have gone to overtime. Both teams have established themselves as title contenders in the early going, with Lebanon lugging a 5-1 mark into the match, and Hanover entering with a record of 5-0-1, having allowed no goals.
Hanover put the pressure on early in the match, and shots by Angus Kennedy and Yosef Osheyack forced Lebanon goalie Andrew Kelly to make a pair of sparkling saves. Osheyack just missed connecting on another close-in shot, and Aussie Cyrus got in clean on a breakaway but put his shot over the top. At the other end, the Marauder defense kept the home team completely bottled up. Lebanon had no shots on goal throughout the half, and their two corner kicks were parried away by Ben Harwick and the back line of Cal Felicetti, Matt Wetherell, Sam Peterson and Trevor Barlowe. Angus Kennedy and Cyrus were doing a superb job at midfield, repeatedly wining balls and stifling the Raiders.
Hanover struck for the only goal they would need with four minutes to play in the first half when a long throw-in from Ben Rimmer skidded through the box and found Eric Barthold just inside the 18 with enough time to volley home a first-time shot inside the far post.
It didn’t take the Marauders long to double the lead in the second half and put the game on ice. A nice combination of passes four minutes into the half put Osheyack through on the right side of the Lebanon penalty area, and the junior striker laid a perfect ball back to a trailing Casey Maue, whose laser shot tucked into side netting past the far post. The 2-0 lead looked pretty solid, given Hanover’s continuing territorial edge.
The Marauders had several other chances to increase the lead, but a Matt Wetherell header on a perfect Rimmer corner kick misseed the target, and several other shots were also off the mark. Hanover got a nice boost in the late going thatnks to the fresh legs of Henry Caldwell and Kevin Dade up front, and midfielders Lou Gemunden and Paul Burchard. All four played excellent soccer, and helped close the match out on a high note.
Two long shots by Lebanon near the end of the match forced Ben Harwick to make his only two saves of the day, putting the lid on Hanover’s seventh straight shutout, and raising their record on the young season to 6-0-1. Next up for the Marauders is a home match at 4:00 on Thursday against Plymouth.

Players may travel home with a parent after the contest, but only with prior approval by the athletic department. This is easily obtained by bringing a note to the Atheltic Department office prior to the contest. The note will be signed (or stamped) by Mike Jackson, and then carried by the student to the game. The only way a coach may release a player is if he/she sees this approved note. A coach does not have the discretion to alter this policy, and should not be placed in the position of refusing a parental request at the game site. All of the players have been aware of this policy since the start of the season. We hope that this notification will clear up any misunderstanding. Feel free to contact Athletic Director Mike Jackson with any questions.

Varsity vs Oyster River, September 15
HANOVER TIES OYSTER RIVER IN SEMIFINAL REMATCH
Hanover helped longstanding rival Oyster River celebrate 50 years of NH high school soccer Saturday with a scintillating scoreless tie that showcased the sport at its highest level. The Marauders dominated the contest for the full 100 minutes, outshooting the host Bobcats 19-4, but could not dent a determined Oyster River defense, led by senior goalkeeper Ty Guarino. Hanover’s record “dropped” to 5-0-1, and Oyster River, again a contender for postseason honors, is now 4-1-1.
The game matched the two premier franchises in the state. No two schools have accumulated more state championships between them, and the rivalry goes back to the earliest years of competition in New Hampshire. That dominance has continued in the last ten years, with Hanover wining the Class I title four times in the last eight years, and Oyster River taking three in a row from 2001-2003, including a victory over the Marauders in the 2003 title game, a replay much like last year’s with Lebanon. It’s a rare year when the two schools aren’t among the last ones standing, and that was certainly the case last fall, as Hanover avenged a l-0 loss in the regular season with a 1-0 victory in the Class I semifinals en route to their second straight title. With that backdrop, it’s easy to see what this early-season meeting crackled with playoff intensity, especially since the match was the centerpiece of Oyster River’s 50-year celebration, and the sidelines were filled with Bobcat alumni and supporters.
It didn’t take the Marauders long to show that their early-season success was well-earned.
They established a distinct territorial advantage, although for the first time this season they were contending with a team with the skill and organization to counterattack. Hanover’s 7-4 edge in shots reflected the flow of play, and Ben Harwick was tested for the first time in goal, rising to the occasion with outstanding judgment in several testing situations.
The morning rain lifted by halftime, and the clearing skies brought a stiff breeze at Oyster River’s backs. Despite this overrated edge, the Marauders increased their pressure on the hosts, and came close to scoring several times in regulation, outshooting the Bobcats 7-0. Matt Wetherell and Ben Rimmer just missed on short-range headers, and Angus Kennedy came close to finding the range on a pair of free kicks. Another factor in Hanover’s edge in play appeared to be superior conditioning. Despite the fact that only one substitute entered the game for the Marauders, they got stronger as the game wore on into the extra sessions after regulation ended.
Hanover also dominated the overtime, outshooting Oyster River 5-0 and just missing on two bids by Josef Osheyack and watching an Eric Barthold bid just roll past the far post.
Both teams concluded the match with genuine expressions of mutual respect and the sense that they would be meeting again.
It’s out of the frying pan and into the fire for the Marauders, who now head to Lebanon Tuesday for a championship game rematch in the first installment of their home and home derby. The Raiders are off to a glittering 5-1 start, with only a 1-0 loss to Class I power Hollis, and the match should be yet another classic.

Varsity vs ConVal, Sept 11
HANOVER HIGH BOYS SWAMP CONVAL 5-0
The Hanover High boys soccer team ran their record to 5-0 last Tuesday (Sept. 11) with a 5-0 victory over visiting Con-Val. The Marauders took and early advantage on goals by Casey Maue and Yosef Osheyack, and dominated the contest throughout, outshooting the Cougars 22-2. Osheyack would add two more goals for his first career hat trick, and Senior Back Sam Peterson chipped in with his first career goal.
Hanover was businesslike from the opening kickoff, and took a 1-0 lead in the 14th minute on a perfectly executed corner kick from Ben Rimmer, whose serve found Cal Felicetti at the back post. Felicetti headed the ball back across the box to Maue, whose uncontested header made the score 1-0. Yosef Osheyack shook off two near misses and netted the first of his brace three minutes later, taking a sick feed from Angus Kennedy and coolly converting the resulting breakaway. Con-Val held the Marauders off the scoreboard until just before halftime, when two lightning goals put the game away. With less than two minutes to play, Eric Barthold lifted a ball into the Cougar penalty box, and Osheyack turned a 50-50 ball into his second goal with noting less than hard work and hustle. A minute later, Sam Peterson’s free kick from midfield took a big recreation league bounce and hopped over the head of Con-Val goalie Mitch Carney and into the back of the net.
Five minutes into the second half, Osheyack made the lead 5-0 with along-distance breakaway, courtesy of a deft through ball from Maue. The junior striker converted his fifth goal of the season, and Coach Rob Grabill quickly cleared his bench. The pressure on Con-Val continued, thanks to some solid play by midfielders Paul Burchard and Erik Barth, and strikers Eric Jayne and Kevin Dade, who each came close to scoring with some scintillating play.
Ben Harwick recorded one save in goal to collect his fourth shutout of the season, and Hanover’s fifth in five game.

Hanover Varsity vs Milford, Sept 8
MARAUDERS RUN WIN STREAK TO FOUR
The Hanover varsity boys extended their season-opening win streak to four with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Milford Saturday. Aussie Cyrus scored the game-winning goal in the fifteenth minute on a nifty feed from Casey Maue, and Eric Jayne tallied his team-leading fourth goal with ten minutes to play to seal the deal, burying a rebound from a hard shot by Yosef Osheyack.
Milford entered the game with a 3-1 record and had outscored their opposition 29-5, but the Marauders dominated play, outshooting the visitors 20-4, and piling up an impressive 13-1 advantage in corner kicks. Although they scored only once in the first half, they were close several other times, and had a goal called back when Matt Wetherell was whistled for a foul as he headed home a corner kick. It would have been his third such goal of the season.
Milford worked hard all game, and came out particularly hard in the second half.
The Hanover defense stayed organized and patient, led by Wetherell, Cal Felicetti and Angus Kennedy, who dominated the middle of the field. As the half went on, the Marauders reasserted their offensive pressure, led by Osheyack, junior Henry Caldwell and Jayne. Caldwell had a certain goal saved off the line by a MIlford defender.
Ben Harwick has hardly tested in the Hanover goal as he backstopped the fourth team shutout in four games. The Marauders have outshot their first four foes 98-8, and have a corner kick advantage of 33-5.
Things will get much tougher for the Hanover in the immediate future. On Tuesday they host Con-Val, which beat Milford 5-0. Then on Saturday they travel to Durham to renew their longstanding rivalry with Oyster River. After losing to the Bobcats in the regular season last year, the Marauders returned the favor in the NHIAA semifinals on Casey Maue's clutch goal. No two divisional opponents have more combined state titles than these two foes, and a showcase game would be a great way to celebrate the 50th year of soccer in the state of New Hampshire.

HHS Boys Varsity vs Fall Mtn, Sept 5
The Hanover varsity improved to 3-0 on the young season with a 9-0 victory against a young Fall Mountain team. What a difference a year makes! The last time these two teams met in the NHIAA quarterfinals last October, the Marauders had to fight for their lives before a Jeff Levin goal in the dying minutes of the match game Hanover a 3-2 victory. Since then, Fall Mountain graduated 16 seniors and is in serious rebuilding mode, and the Marauders appear ready to make another postseason run.
Ben Rimmer opened the scoring in the fourth minute, knocking in the rebound of a Henry Caldwell shot. Yosef Osheyack upped the score to 2-0 nine minutes later, converting a sick assist from Aussie Cyrus for his second goal of the season. Matt Wetherell ventured into the box and headed in his third goal on a corner kick from Lou Gemunden, who had also assisted on Wetherell's other two goals. Twenty seconds later, Henry Caldwell knocked in his first career goal to make the score 4-0 after 24 minutes. Coach Grabill cleared the bench at this point, and there was no more scoring before the break.
It took the Marauders less than two minutes to get on the board in the second half, with Ben Rimmer passing up an easy scoring opportunity to feed Eric Barthold for a far post tap-in, giving the senior midfielder his third goal in three games. Two minutes later Barthold notched the first of his two helpers on the day, lofting a cross for Henry Caldwell to head home. Every starter made for the bench at the game's 45 minute mark, but the Hanover reserves continued the onslaught. First up was Paul Burchard, playing in his first game of the season (and his career) after rehabbing a broken foot for more than half a year. The senior midfielder hit a 20 yard screamer into the upper ninety
to announce his return. Two other seniors also made their debuts, each following preseason injuries. Dylan Riessen and Erik Barth both played with panache, and showed that they wil be contending for playing time as the season progresses. The final two goals of the match were tallied by Eric Jayne, who has made the most of his playing time in the early season. The Marauders' only freshman settled a cross from Caldwell
and hit a ripper for his second career goal, and then tipped in a pass from Barthold, who took over the team scoring lead with his fourth assist on the season.
Sam Gest recorded a nice save on Fall Mountain's only shot of the game to preserve Hanover's third shutout of the season.
Next up of rhte Marauders is a home match on Saturday against an improved Milford team. The Spartans are 3-1, and have outscored their opponents 29-5. Kickoff is at 1:00 p.m.

HHS Boy Soccer Community Service Opportunity
From HHS Boys Soccer Head Coach Rob Grabill regarding Crop Walk 2007 on Sunday October 7 in Lebanon
Dear Parents and Players -
I have invited all members of the Hanover High boys soccer teams to participate in a public service opportunity to raise money for the CROP hunger walk. Since the late 60s, CROP (Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty) walks have raised millions of dollars to fight hunger globally and locally. Last year more than 20 members of the varsity and junior varsity teams helped the Upper Valley CROP walkers raises more than $16,000. Up to a quarter of this money went to local agencies such as LISTEN.
CROP Walk volunteers receive pledge envelopes, and are asked to solicit pledges and donations from as many donors as possible prior to the event. They then participate in a three-mile walk in and around downtown Lebanon on Sunday afternoon, and join afterwards for refreshments and celebration. Despite the pouring rain last year (which helped us feel very noble) the team had a great time, and as a group raised neaqrly $3,000 a significant part of the total. Our goal this year is to double both our participation and our donation. With the help of all four teams, we can easily do this.
This is totally a voluntary activity. No player should feel any pressure to participate. We recognize that the time commitment of the season makes time off on weekends a valuable commodity. On the other hand, this busy schedule also limits us from participating in other community service activities, such as Youth in Action, and this is a great way to show that we care about more than soccer. We have always felt that being aware of our responsibility to the community and the world as a whole is a vital part of the HHS experience.
We have begun distributing pledge packets to players who volunteer, and wwelcome parents and family members to join us in this endeavor. If you have questions or need further information, please feel free to contact me.
