Multiple (Division semis/finals at higher-seed and college venues) · March
Last verified: . See something out of date? Tell us.
Four divisions, public-school only — prep schools (Brewster, Tilton, New Hampton) compete in NEPSAC, not here. Finals rotate among NH college venues. Hammond Lumber Co. has been the recent presenting sponsor across all four divisions.
Strict separation from the prep-school world — NH's nationally ranked teams (Brewster, Tilton) are not in this bracket. So this is the actual NH-public state title rather than an open competition.
Best for: NHIAA public schools across the four divisions.
Tradeoffs: Top-end NH prep talent is invisible here. Venues rotate, so championship game site changes year to year.
