2010 STATE CHAMPION LONDONDERRY LANCERS!!!
The Lancers brought home the 2010 state championship plaque yesterday in a great 5-2 game against #4 Salem! It was a tight game the whole seven innings, key hits and mistakes on both sides- but in the end Kasey Carollo wasn't going to let his team lose this game. Carollo took the hill for the biggest start of his Londonderry career and didn't disapoint. After going down 1-0 in the first he settled in and kept the Blue Devils off the scoreboard. In the sixth Carollo took a shot off the inside of his ankle and things didn't look good, he was in pain. He got up off the ground and brought his game to the next level with him striking out 5 of the last 6 batters he faced! It was the stuff legends are made of and one that will stay with this coach forever.
The rest of the Lancers took care of the offensive side with solid hitting, especially in a 3 run first inning that included two triples and some key baserunning! The Lancers did what all great teams do in tight games against high quality opponents- take advantage of mistakes. It was key to the game and held the Lancers confidence in high gear the whole game!
The coaches are very proud of this team, the hard work they put in and the effort on the field for the past few months. It is never easy to get to the finals, it takes skill and real luck to get there! We wish the seniors the best of luck, you are a special group of guys and always remember "Next pitch". To the future Lancers, enjoy this now- really- but we have some work to do for next year, so get ready!
A special thanks to Gary Fisher and the Dugout club for all they do to support this program and all involved with it! And finally to the LAFA program, one of the best feeder systems in the state of New Hampshire, this is the end product of your hard work and dedication at that level- keep it up!
Way to go CHAMPS!
Five Lancers have selected the colleges that they will play for after their upcoming senior year. Dan Lagasse will be playing for St. Anslem's, a good fit for Dan both on the field and off! Jake Finnegan and Geoff Fisher will be taking the mound in the future for UMass-Lowell! CJ Flanders and DJ Reed will be playing for Becker College after this season! They be very important as they hope to continue to build a strong program at Becker!

The coaches for the JV and Freshmen teams will send a write-up of their games and I will put those recaps on the respective pages (which can be accessed on the main page). It is also a good place to display statistics (provided by the coaches) and to keep up with announcements throughout the year!
The summer camp dates are set! The full camp will be June 22nd, 23rd, 24th, and 25th. We will be getting flyers out in the coming months. These camps are a great way to have your child (boy or girl) get solid baseball instruction while having fun doing it! For 4-5 hours a day the camp reinforces the basic fundamentals taught by their regular teams!
The second camp, Lancer Baseball Pitching and catching camp, will be set for June 29th and 30th with a possible third day depending on interest.
UPDATE: Five Lancers select colleges to continue baseball after high school!(3/29/10)
This is a great accomplishment for these boys and for the LHS program! One that the coaches take special pride in, "a feather in the cap" so to speak!
I hope the message is sent out to the younger players at LHS that it is possible to play college ball, but it is hard work to get there. Hard work in the classroom, the weightroom, and on the field! It doesn't just happen because you were an all-star as a ten year old, it happens through hard work and cooperation between coaches, players, and parents.
Congratulations to all five boys and their families!
