Athletics


Memorial High School is a member of the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA). It participates in Division I for hockey and football and Class L for the remaining sports.
In 2006 the softball team competed for the Class L championship under the coaching of David Hedge, but lost to Salem. The baseball team, however, won the Class L championship game against Bishop Guertin in that same year, led by coach Don Menswar. It was the first title for Memorial in any team sport since the baseball team won the Division I title in 1998, ending a title drought of eight years.
From 1991-1993, the Memorial boys basketball team suffered through a horrendous losing streak, dropping 50+ straight games. The streak received national attention and when the team finally won a game (during the Queen City Invitational Basketball Tournament against Laconia of Class I); it was reported on Boston television stations.
The Memorial Football team also has an infamous season history, with both the 2005 and 2006 seasons resulting in only one win (against Trinity High School and Manchester High School Central, respectively). The school has not won a championship since 1973.
