Warriors Overcome 14-Point Deficit, Stun Nashua North
A fourth quarter touchdown run sealed the comeback and a 2-0 start for the defending champs.
Winnacunnet High School stormed back against the Nashua North High School Titans Friday night, overcoming an early two-touchdown hole to win 20-17 in an interconference matchup.
The defending Division II champions were in a hole early after a 90-yard interception return by the Titans' Demitri Jackson, according to the Nashua Telegraph. The Warriors (2-0) trailed the Division I opponent by scores of 14-0 and 17-7, but strong defensive play and an offense lead by quarterback Ing Hao Veasna, who had 240 total passing yards and a game-winning 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, helped swing the game in Winnacunnet's favor, according to the Telegraph.
