Today we’ll look back at Berlin High School teams’ fall season, with summaries of each team, pictures and highlights of each senior and the latest up-to-date NHIAA All-State and Granite State awards. Next week, we’ll review Gorham High’s season, and I hope to do the same for the Gladiators football team once their season is complete.
I want to once again thank all of those involved in the fall sports’ programs in our area, namely, athletic directors Craig Melanson at Berlin High School and Bill Goodrich at Gorham High School; Berlin coaches Bob Lord (cross-country), Nicole Arguin (field hockey), Rhiannon Cruze (girls soccer), Tony Valliere (boys soccer); Gorham coaches Rob Hamel (cross-country), Tina Binette (boys soccer), Chris Partenope (girls soccer) and Gladiators team manager George McDonough, as well as all of the friends, fans and families who supported the programs, and those who sent me pictures for the paper.
