Despite injury to star quarterback, St. Johnsbury relies on defense for title-game berth

ST. JOHNSBURY — Top-seeded St. Johnsbury's vaunted offense made mistake after mistake during the opening quarter of the Division I high school football semifinals vs. No. 5 Burlington/South Burlington/Winooski on Saturday, Nov. 7. Three red zone trips resulted in coughing up possession three times: A turnover on downs plus two interceptions spoiled what appeared to be sure-fire touchdowns. "We were struggling. It seemed like we weren’t going to score," St. Johnsbury coach Rich Alercio said. "I was thinking we were going to win this 3-0." But the Hilltoppers are more than just an explosive passing attack. Their defense showed up — and showed out — while their running game couldn't be contained. And who set the tone for both units? Kingston Carey. More: What we learned in Week 10 of the 2026 Vermont high school football season The junior ended a scoreless stalemate with a pick-six early in the second quarter and racked up two more TDs and 140 yards of his game-high 154 yards before the halftime break, guiding the Hilltoppers to a 35-6 victory over the SeaWolves at Fairbanks Field, sending the Northeast Kingdom program back to the Division I title game for the second straight year.

N.H. football: Hefler, Somersworth run wild in Division III playoff win over Laconia

SOMERSWORTH — Kaleb Hefler started the fireworks with a pair of long touchdown runs, and the Somersworth High School football team never looked back in its 50-21 win over Laconia Saturday in the first round of the Division III playoffs. Second-seeded Somersworth (8-1) had three players rush for more than 100 yards and piled up 444 yards on the ground, asserting its dominance at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball against No. 7 Laconia (4-5). The Hilltoppers will host No. 3 Monadnock on Saturday, Nov. 14. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. Monadnock advanced with a 33-6 win over No. 6 Stevens. Somersworth beat Monadnock, 35-32, in their regular-season matchup. “It was awesome,” said Somersworth coach Jeremy Lambert of Saturday’s win. “We had challenged the kids, especially with the weather, that we had to stick with our basic game plan and just run down hill. They did a great job up front. Our two offensive ends (Tristan Gobern) and (Diamaonte Pough) did a phenomenal job blocking and allowed us to exploit off tackle. Our ends don’t get targeted much when we’re a run heavy team, but the way they blocked today was just phenomenal. I’m so
