Quarterback Tyler Ford scored on a 1-yard run with 10 minutes to play and it proved to be the difference as Division III Souhegan High School posted a 35-28 victory over Division I Manchester Central at Gill Stadium on Saturday night.

The game began in Amherst on Friday night, but after a lightning delay late in the first quarter the scoreless contest was postponed because of dangerous playing conditions and moved to Gill Stadium, which has a turf field.

Souhegan, No. 9 in the Union Leader/WGIR/WMUR Power Poll, led 21-20 at halftime, and took advantage of a Central fumble early in the third to increase that lead to 28-20. No. 6 Central tied the game by scoring a touchdown and adding the two-point conversion with 10 minutes to play, but the Sabers responded with a scoring drive capped by Ford's TD run.

Souhegan stretched its winning streak to seven games and improved to 7-1 overall. Central fell to 5-3 overall.

The loss dropped Londonderry's record to 2-6 overall and 1-5 in Division I.
