the NHIAA Division I Championships at Merrimack High School and successfully placed five of their athletes in the Meet of Champions, to be held on Saturday, June 4, at Merrimack High School. Amanda Roberts, who was selected for All States by the Division I

Rounding out the qualifiers for the Meet of Champions was Kayla Duval, who finished sixth overall in the javelin with a throw of 108 feet, which also breaks the school record.

Donovan Leads the Way for Lady Broncos Softball


by Sue LaRoche On senior day, Tuesday, May 24, Katie Donovan, the Lady Broncos’ only senior, showed her teammates what senior leadership is all about when she led the Broncos to a come-from- behind 3-2 victory over Manchester Memorial, giving the Lady Broncos their 15th victory of the season against only three losses. Jess Underwood pitched a strong seven innings for the Lady Broncos, striking out six and giving up only two unearned runs. In the sixth inning with Memorial leading 2-0, Alvirne tied up the score on an error and an RBI single by Donovan. Taylor Carbone came on in relief, pitching a scoreless top of the eighth inning. In the bottom of the frame Chelsey Drew led off with a single, followed by a Jenna Giannelli single. Giannelli took second on a steal and Delaney Burns drew an intentional walk to load the bases for Donovan, who promptly lined a single to right for her second RBI of the game, which pushed home the winning run for the exciting, extra-inning victory. On Wednesday, May 25, Alvirne spoiled Keene’s senior day with


a 15-0 drubbing in five innings. This victory secured the second seed for the Broncos in NHIAA Division I. Jess Underwood pitched another stellar game, allowing just two hits and striking out five batters. Each Bronco starter had at least one hit on the day. Pacing the attack was Katie Donovan, who had four hits and four RBIs, with Chelsey Drew and Jess Underwood (three RBIs) adding three hits each. Jenna Giannelli had two hits, while Mikayla Powlowsky, Kaela Craven, Taylor Carbone had two RBIs each and Delaney Burns, Brooke Kennedy, and Erin Craven had one hit each. Alvirne completed their season with a 16-3 record and have garnered the number-two seed in the tournament, which began on Wednesday, June 1, with Alvirne hosting Timberlane in the preliminary round at home. With a victory on Wednesday, the Broncos will host the quarterfinal game on Saturday, June 4, at 4 p.m. The semifinals will be at Southern NH University at 4 and 6 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9, with the finals taking place on Saturday, June 11, at 4:30 p.m. at Southern NH University.
