GRANITE STATE CHALLENGE 2025 TEAMS

On Saturday, December 7, 2024, at NHPBS in Durham, NH. Two wildcard games determined the two teams that would move on to compete on the next season of Granite State Challenge. The first game was a real nail-biter, Prospect Mountain narrowly defeated Bishop Guertin High and now moves on to face Plymouth Regional High. The second game between ConVal Regional High and Nashua High North was also very close, but ConVal won and now moves on to face Nashua High South.
