Souhegan Shuts Out John Stark During Special Game

On Friday night, the Souhegan varsity football team notched its first win of the season in a home game against John Stark High School.

The Sabers, during their Hope for Gus game, scored 35 points in a shut out against the Generals. 

Friday night's game was a special event for 'Hope for Gus,' an organization that raises money and awareness about Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Steve Dreher, a teacher at Souhegan High School, and his wife 
Tonya, started The Hope for Gus Foundation in 2010 after their 4-year-old son, Gus was diagnosed with DMD. The disease causes muscle deterioration.  As a result, boys with DMD lose the ability to walk in early adolescence and typically die in their late teens or early 20s.
