ENFIELD — Hanover High’s golf team improved to 6-0 for the week by defeating Bishop Guertin, Londonderry and Manchester Memorial on Wednesday at Montcalm Golf Club.

The Bears were led by sophomore Andrew Cramer, who shot a 2-over-par 38 on Montcalm’s front nine. He was followed by Adam Goodney (39), Andrew Cahoon (41), Jake Toulmin (42) and Ben Ames (44).

“Our home course advantage played well into our favor today,” Hanover coach Josh Flanders said. “It’s evident that our talent, focus and course management has a high ceiling. To be 6-0 this week against the talent we’ve played is exciting. We’re looking forward to hitting our stride early and returning Hanover golf to its dominant form in New Hampshire Division I golf.”

Hanover (7-2) joins Pinkerton and Concord for a match at Concord Country Club on Sept. 11.

Team scores: Hanover 204, Bishop Guertin 218, Londonderry 225, Manchester Memorial 254.
