Daniel Keeping came in 17th in world as he would get aboard Sweet Life Farms The Accountant and would ride him for 84.75. It would be the opening night of PBR Manchester in front of a near-sell-out crowd. Thirty-nine of the top bull riders in the world will be in attendance as the Pro Bull Riders make their annual return to the SNHU Arena. The Cowboys would have the upper hand on the Bulls this evening as 18 would get qualified rides at night. The scariest moment of the night would be when Vitor Losnake would go against Bad Hart when he would smack face first off the bull and be knocked out and just along for the ride and then land square on the top of the head when he would hit the ground and just lay motionless on the ground and would be taken out of the arena the on backboard,d. Still, we find out later that he would return to the arena later that night but be done for the weekend. The ride of the night would go to Adriano Salgado with an 89, as he would be the opening night winner. Although there would be a trio of riders hot on feels in the running for the 40k first place check as Claudio Montanha, Derek Kolbaba, and Kaique Pacheco would all be tied at 87.5 as Keyshawn Whitehorse and Paulo Eduardo Rossetto would round out the top 5 with 87's. All the Cowboys and Bulls will return tomorrow for the second round as part of the championship Saturday. Gallery.

It would be the home opener for the Plattsburgh Hornets as they would host the Northeastern Clinton Cougars in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference Boy's Basketball action. I would start slow, with both teams missing their shots early in the game as they were getting a feel for the night, but in the second half of the quarter, the teams would feel better, and the Cougars would have the 5-point lead at 15-10 at the end of the first. In the second quarter, the Hornets would come alive on offense, and their defense would be shut down as they would explode for a 15-2 quarter and take a 25-17 lead into the intermission. When the teams returned for the second half, the Hornets would stay hot out there as they would have a 17-4 quarter, expand on their run at 32-6, and take the 42-21 lead into the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter, the teams would play a little more equal as the Hornets would call all of the dogs and have a 14-11 quarter as they would get the 56-32 victory.

We would have Mountain Valley Athletic Conference action inside Section VII as the Seton Catholic Knights would host the Keene Beavers in an early season tilt. The game would start quickly, with both teams going up and down the court, and the Knights would have a slight 15-12 lead after the first quarter. In the second quarter, the high pace of both teams would continue as the Beavers would win the quarter 19-15 and take the slim 31-30 lead into the intermission. When the teams return for the second half, they will still have the high pass up and down the court, as the Beavers will have the 14-11 and get a slightly bigger lead at 45-41 after three quarters. In the quarter, the Knights would give everything they have to get back in the game and, a couple of times in the quarter, have the deficit within one; still, they would be unable to get over that hump in the quarter, and the teams would tie for the quarter at 15, but the Bevers would hold onto get the 60-56 victory. With the Keene Beavers going to 2-1 on the season as the Knights fall to 0-2, both teams will be back in action later in the week before the holiday break. Gallery
