Top 10 New Hampshire Girls High School Basketball State Rankings (2/3/2025)

Bedford and Londonderry remained the top two teams in this week’s New Hampshire Top 10 girls basketball rankings. The Bulldogs and Lancers could each be undefeated when they wrap up the Division I regular season against each other in Bedford on Feb. 21.

Bishop Guertin and Nashua North are the new teams in this week’s Top 10. Salem, which was No. 7 last week, dropped out after losing three in a row. Portsmouth was ranked No. 9 a week ago, but failed to make the cut after a 1-1 week that included a 39-32 loss to Nashua North.

Team records are through games played Feb. 2.

Previous rank: 1

The Bulldogs flexed their muscle Tuesday by handing Windham its first loss (65-40), and followed up that performance with a 53-11 win against Goffstown on Sunday.

Previous rank: 2

Londonderry secured its best win of the season when it handed rival Pinkerton a 56-45 loss Friday night. A tough three-game stretch begins Tuesday with a home game against No. 3 Windham. Matchups with Concord Christian (9-2) and Portsmouth (8-4) are on deck.

Previous rank: 3

The Jaguars stayed put at No. 3 despite their loss to Bedford, which has faced very little resistance this season.

Previous rank: 4

Pinkerton’s only losses came against No. 1 Bedford and No. 2 Londonderry.

Previous rank: 5

The Kingsmen have won nine of their last 10 outings, but no team on their remaining schedule is currently below the .500 mark. Londonderry, Bedford and Pinkerton are among the opponents Concord Christian still has to face.

Previous rank: 6

Laconia and Derryfield are the only unbeaten teams in Division II. Those teams will meet Friday night at Derryfield.

Previous rank: 7

Tia Ferdinando and Bre McCabe have been great, but freshman Anna Fazelat is Derryfield’s leading scorer.

Previous rank: 9

Not even Bedford has been as dominant as St. Thomas, which has held six of its opponents to less than 20 points. Only one team has scored more than 30 points against the Saints.

Previous rank: Not ranked

The Cardinals had a tough early schedule – two of the team’s first three losses were against Bedford and Londonderry – but have won five of their last six. BG’s only loss during that stretch came against Wachusett, Mass.

Previous rank: 10

The Titans seem to have found their stride. North has won seven of eight – and five in a row – since its 0-3 start.

A court hearing for Cher’s son Wednesday over allegations he broke into a New Hampshire home this month has been canceled.

Elijah Allman’s arrest on March 1 was his second in New Hampshire in a matter of days. Allman, the 49-year-old son of the iconic singer and actress, was also detained Feb. 27, accused of acting belligerently at a prestigious prep school in Concord.

It is unclear if Allman, of Malibu, California, has any connection to the home in Windham, New Hampshire. He is being held in the Rockingham County Department of Corrections, Superintendent Jonathan Banville said.

The hearing Wednesday was continued until an undetermined date after Allman got an attorney Wednesday morning. The attorney, Sarah Landres, did not respond to a request for comment.

Allman, whose father was the late singer Gregg Allman, is charged with two counts of criminal mischief, one count of burglary and a count of breach of bail for breaking into the home on March 1. Police said in a report that Allman did not have permission to be at the home and forcibly entered it.

Officials at St. Paul’s School said Allman last month identified himself as the parent of a prospective student and slipped into the dining hall as some students were leaving the building. Police responded to reports that he was disturbing people in the building.

He was charged with four misdemeanors in the school incident: two counts of simple assault, criminal trespass and criminal threatening. Allman was also charged with a violation of disorderly conduct, which is illegal in the state but not considered a crime. He was released on bail.

Allman did not respond to an email requesting comment, and a phone number for him was not working.

In December 2023, Cher filed a petition to become a temporary conservator overseeing her son’s money, saying Allman’s struggles with his mental health and addiction have left him unable to manage his assets and potentially put his life in danger.

The petition says the superstar performer’s son is entitled to regular payments from a trust fund. But “given his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues,” she is “concerned that any funds distributed to Elijah will be immediately spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself and putting Elijah’s life at risk,” the petition says.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jessica Uzcategui denied the request, saying she was not convinced that a conservatorship was urgently needed. Allman was in the courtroom with his attorneys, who acknowledged his previous struggles but argued that he was in a good place, was attending meetings, getting treatment and reconciling with his estranged wife.

Cher’s son heads to court over allegations he broke into a New Hampshire home

The son of Cher is scheduled to be in court Wednesday for a hearing over allegations he broke into a New Hampshire home earlier this month.

It was the second arrest in a matter of days for Elijah Allman, 49, of Malibu, California, who was detained Feb. 27 after allegedly acting belligerently at a prestigious prep school in New Hampshire. It was unclear if Allman had any connection to either St. Paul’s School or the home in Windham, New Hampshire.

Allman remains in the Rockingham County Department of Corrections in what is called preventive detention, Superintendent Jonathan Banville said.

Allman, whose father was the late singer Gregg Allman, faces two counts of criminal mischief, one count of burglary and a count of breach of bail for breaking into the home on March 1. Police said in a report that Allman did not have permission to be at the home and forcibly entered it .

In the incident at the prep school, Allman was charged with four misdemeanors: two counts of simple assault, criminal trespass and criminal threatening. Allman was also charged with a violation of disorderly conduct, which is illegal in the state but not considered a crime.

At about 7 p.m. that day, Concord police responded to reports that Allman was disturbing people in the dining hall of St. Paul’s School. After charging Allman, police said he was released on bail as his case works through the court system.

Allman did not respond to an email requesting comment, and a phone number for him was not working. It was unclear from the court records if Allman has an attorney.

In December 2023, Cher filed a petition to become a temporary conservator overseeing her son’s money, saying Allman struggles with mental health issues and addiction have left him unable to manage his assets and potentially put his life in danger.
