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.

N.H. boys soccer: Newmarket beats Littleton to win Division IV state championship

LACONIA — All season, Newmarket boys soccer coach Kenny Najem preached a simple message to his players: Their effort needed to match their expectations. On the biggest stage of the season, the Mules did exactly that. More: Freshman's hat trick powers Portsmouth Christian girls soccer to second straight state title Top-seeded Newmarket scored twice in the first half and went on to defeat No. 2 Littleton, 3-1, in the Division IV state championship game on Friday, Nov. 6 at Laconia High School. “We’ve had many conversations last year and this year talking about how your efforts need to match your expectations, and their efforts matched their expectations all year,” Najem said. Newmarket wasted little time taking control. Brennan Zhe scored in the second minute off a free kick to give the Mules a 1-0 lead. He struck again near the midway point of the first half. This time, Zhe carried the ball through the center of the field before firing a shot from outside the 18-yard box for his second goal, giving Newmarket a two-goal cushion. Najem said Zhe elevated his play throughout Newmarket's championship run. “He wanted it, and (this team) wanted it,” Najem said. “You could see it
