Plymouth Regional Wins Granite State SuperChallenge

DURHAM, NH — The 2019 Granite State SuperChallenge was a battle between two Grafton County teams – Littleton High School and Plymouth Regional High School. It was Littleton’s first time in the finals. The school was also the smallest in the competition this year – with just 213 students.

The Crusaders, however, were outmatched by the Bobcats of Plymouth, who were in the championship game last year while taking home titles in 2013 and 1995-1996.

That experience paid off as the Bobcats dominated the Crusaders for the entire game. Plymouth led by a score of 170-120 at the end of the first round and accelerated to a 390 to 200 score after the second round. By the third round, Plymouth continue leading by a nearly two-to-one margin (480-250) and finished with a final score of 620-330.

Plymouth was led by captain junior Rhys Harris, junior Michael Cathy, junior Erek Bickford, and junior Rhianna Herlihy. The alternates are junior Ben Kresge and sophomore Mason Earick. Jay Fogarty was the coach of the team.

Littleton was led by captain junior Marcos Silveira, senior Aidan Hastings, junior Breanna Corliss and freshman Vincent Silva. The team was coached by Charles Denny.

Plymouth will now represent New Hampshire in the High School Quiz Show Invitational at WGBH in Boston. They will be playing the championship team form Maine. Following that game, the Rhode Island and Massachusetts teams will face each other.
