BERLIN—Five local high school sports teams made it into the NHIAA spring sports tournament with 11th-seeded Berlin’s Girl’s Tennis Team bowing to sixth-seed Trinity 6-3, in the first round of Division 3 play, while the 13-ranked Gorham softball team lost to fourth-seeded Moultonboro 15-1, in Division 4 to end their seasons.
Meanwhile, the Gorham and Berlin baseball teams, along with BHS softball, all advanced to, and unfortunately lost, in the semi-finals in their respective divisions, 4 and 3.
