Former Panthers Returning as Coaches
We are proud to announce that two former players have decided to come back and help on the varsity coaching staff while they are home from college. Kirsten McIntire and Riley Olsen (2020 seniors) have committed to staying safe to help us this season.
Kirsten was our leading scorer AND rebounder last year. She currently is attending Merrimack College and is playing D1 lacrosse for the Warriors this spring! Riley Olsen, a former hoop/soccer star at Nashua South and is currently attending UNH. We are lucky to have them back as they have represented our school at the highest level!
