LACONIA, NH – Top-seeded Woodsville remained perfect on the season as the Engineers defeated No. 5 Gorham, 43-27, in semifinal action of the NHIAA Division IV state tournament on Monday night at Laconia High School.
Woodsville advances to the title game to take on No. 3 Littleton on Saturday at Colby-Sawyer College in New London at 3:00 p.m.
The Engineer defense was stifling in the first half as they held the Huskies to just two points in the opening quarter and only nine for the half. Woodsville took a 20-9 lead to the locker room and it proved to be too much for Gorham to overcome.
Ryan Walker poured in a game-high 17 points for the Engineers, but the junior rolled his ankle with under 90 seconds left in the ball game. Walker hobbled to the sideline before head to the locker room early and did not return. His status is uncertain.
Landon Kingsbury (11 points) and Cowan Kimball (10) both netted double-digits as well for Woodsville.
Gorham was led by nine points from Isaac Langlois.
