Girls basketball Hanover 59, Lebanon 15

HANOVER — Nina Sablan had 16 points and Sydney McLaughlin added 13 as the Bears routed the rival Raiders to sweep the teams’ regular-season meetings.

Hanover has been without star point guard Stella Galanes for the entire season after she tore her ACL at a preseason tournament, and the Bears’ 69-game regular-season winning streak against in-state foes was snapped on Jan. 7. But with Friday night’s win, Hanover has now won 44 straight games at home dating to the beginning of the 2018-19 season.

Drew Kantor and Isabelle Hamilton had five points each for Lebanon, which dropped its ninth in a row.

“We have been getting better throughout the season, and we’re starting to get scoring from a balanced attack,” Bears coach Dan O’Rourke said. “We’re also starting to get out in transition. I’m starting to see things gelling.”

Hanover (9-4 overall, 8-2 NHIAA) hosts Oyster River on Tuesday. Lebanon (1-11) hosts undefeated Bow on the same day.

Windsor 53, Brattleboro 21

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. — Sydney Perry and Audrey Rupp scored 14 points each and Sophia Rockwood added nine for the 12-2 Yellowjackets.

Windsor had a four-point lead after one quarter and steadily increased it to 11 at halftime and 25 after three quarters. Perry also had 15 rebounds.

Windsor will return to action Tuesday at home against Springfield.

Concord Christian 67, Mascoma 28

WEST CANAAN — Gabby Pierce scored 13 points but her Royals fell to 3-8 while the Kingswomen improved to 10-1.

Makenna Houston and Leah Larocque each scored six points for Mascoma, which visits Fall Mountain (3-8) on Monday. The Royals won the teams’ first meeting this season, 41-31.

Monadnock 45, Newport 37

SWANZEY, N.H. — The Tigers trailed by just two with 50 seconds left, but late free throws sealed the game for the Huskies.

Taylor Fellows led Newport with 13 points and Maddox Lovely added 12. Tigers coach Ross Dole said Skylar Nelson made some big plays down the stretch.

Newport (2-7) is at Kearsarge on Tuesday.

Green Mountain 54, Rivendell 23

CHESTER, Vt. — The Raptors fall to 1-12 and will be at West Rutland on Tuesday.

Boys basketball Monadnock 50, Newport 49

NEWPORT — The Tigers fought back from deficits all night and got within one with 13 seconds left, but after Monadnock missed a one-and-one, Newport could not convert at the other end before time ran out.

“We had an opportunity at the end but missed the shot,” said Newport coach Rob Clark, whose team lost by one point for the second straight night.

Aaron Fellows had 20 and Owen Beaulieu 11 for Newport, which was without its leading scorer, Kayden LaClair, who was sidelined with an injury.

The Huskies held a five-point lead, 46-41 after three quarters.

“We played great defense in the fourth quarter,” Clark said.

Newport (4-6) hosts Kearsarge on Saturday.

Blue Mountain 64, Oxbow 36

BRADFORD — The Olympians dropped to 1-10 with the loss. They will play the Bucks again, this time on the road, on Monday.
