So foreign-exchange student Hyeokjun Kwon wasn’t expecting the rabid sports scene at Lisbon Regional or the devoted fan following that the Panthers’ athletic teams generate. But Kwon is finding out about Lisbon — and also finding the back of net. He scored the Panthers first goal against Moultonborough to jumpstart Lisbon’s 2-0 victo- ry Friday at Lions Club Community Field. Kwon got things started for Lisbon at 9:24 of the first half, taking a cross from sophomore Chad Knighton and settling the ball seven yards in front of the net. Kwon took his time and coolly blasted the ball to the back of the net for a 1-0 lead. “There was no defense in front of me,” Kwon said. “I didn’t want to kick it in front of the goalie — just to the left or right, I went to the left.” Lisbon coach Les Poore said Kwon came through when it counted — at finish- ing time. “That’s the name of the game. When you’re given an opportunity you’ve got to finish it,” said Poore of CHARLIE LENTZ/THE COURIER Lisbon’s Hyeokjun Kwon, white jersey, fires a shot against Moultonborough Friday at Lions Club Community Field.

By CHARLIE LENTZ [email protected] COLEBROOK — It’s a long trip from Woodsville to Colebrook. And the school bus driver had the heat set on high to counteract a chilly rain last Thursday. Woodsville coach Ann Loud noticed a few players nap- ping and was worried her players would be a bit too relaxed for the opening kick- off against the Mohawks. “I was really nervous because the bus driver turned the heat on — she was having some problems with the fog on the window — and the kids were back there,” Loud said. “Everybody was falling asleep. I was like ‘Please, shut the heat off.’ I was a lit- tle nervous getting off the bus.” Loud should have relaxed CHARLIE LENTZ/THE COURIER — despite a persistent rain Woodsville’s Taylor Morris, dark jersey, attempts a tackle at Groveton Woodsville found its com- CHARLIE LENTZ/THE COURIER fort zone early with a pair of Colebrook defender Dylan Leach looks over his shoulder as Woodsville’s Nick Elliot pursues the ball at first-half goals and went on Colebrook. to defeat Colebrook 4-2.
