Bedford Takes On Hopkinton

The Bulldogs of Bedford High meet the Hawks of Hopkinton High in the final Round One game of Granite State Challenge on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at 8:30 p.m. on New Hampshire PBS.

Bedford High is fielding its first team since Granite State Challenge host Jon Cannon coached the team. They are also fielding the youngest team of the season. Coach Chausovsky feels good about the team, “We have a lot of different strengths depending on the kid. We've got a good handle on geography, literature, pop culture, and sports, so it's a pretty good range.”

Hopkinton High always fields a strong team and comes well-prepared for this game. Coach Liam Callahan has a multi-approach strategy. “We meet at least once a week. We have a buzzer set in the classroom and we go over questions from old games and practice all the different rounds. The team made it to the Semifinals last season, where they fell to Plymouth Regional High.

HOW DID WE GET HERE? 

32 teams met at Merrimack High School to take a written test. The 14 teams scoring the highest on the test moved on and four teams were randomly selected to compete in two non-televised wildcard games. The first game was a real nail-biter, Prospect Mountain narrowly defeated Bishop Guertin High and ConVal Regional High bested Nashua High North to fill out the 16-team roster for the new season.
