Keep it at SNHU

No offense to the fine folks at Plymouth State University, but after the first year of a planned two-year move the Class M boys tournament seemed to fit perfectly at Southern New Hampshire University.

Saturday's  final between Conant of Jaffrey and Newmarket was between two schools with a lot shorter drive to Manchester and resulted in a standing room only crowd for what, by all accounts, was a great game.

Conant won in overtime to capture its third straight title and SNHU won by exposing itself to a new set of fans across the state.

With Littleton dropping down to Class S next year, fewer and fewer Class M schools find Plymouth a shorter trip. And let's face it, Foley Gymnasium desperately needs -- at the very least -- a facelift. The PSU facility has changed little in the last 30 years.

The Class M boys will be back at SNHU next year and maybe the M girls should be there too.
