New Hampshire High School Football Rankings

Who's up and who's down

There wasn't a ton of movement in the power rankings this week, but there was certainly enough to keep things interesting. The action last week included a one-point thriller between Kennett and Laconia.

Can't Touch This

Londonderry got a 36 - 6 win over Alvirne last week, and a key reason for the win was senior Michael Mcalister. Mcalister ran for 124 yards and also punched in two touchdowns. That performance made Mcalister one of the best players in the power rankings last week.

Upcoming Drama

The big showdown in the power rankings this week is between Bedford (10th in the power rankings) and Dover (22nd). Bedford is backed by a win while Dover is motivated by a recent defeat. We'll see if Bedford can add another positive mark to its record or if Dover can shake its loss and take the spring out of Bedford's step.

Big Showdown

It was a battle of top-notch squads when Exeter (7th in the power rankings) took on Dover (22nd) last week. Exeter scooted by Dover with a score of 28 - 10. The Dover defense has struggled this season (giving up an average of 30 points per game), and Exeter took advantage of that.

This Week's Big Showdown

One of the hottest tickets last week involved the clash between Goffstown (4th in the power rankings) and Manchester Central (19th). Goffstown strolled past Manchester Central with points to spare, taking it 29 - 12. The power rankings were completely indifferent to the match, so neither team moved up or down this week.
