The regular season drought is over for the Alvirne High School boys basketball team.

The Broncos topped Merrimack for their first win that counts in the standings after starting the Division I campaign at 0-5. Last week they did capture the Lowell (Mass.) Catholic Holiday Tournament, so things are looking up.

Meanwhile, in girls hoop, Milford remained unbeaten with a win at Lebanon. There was one postponement on Friday, as Nashua South at Trinity has been rescheduled for Feb. 13.

Here’s your Friday night fun:
