SALEM, N.H. — Forget the rain, forget the cold and forget that he was covered, head to toe, in a thick layer of mud. Jason Martinez was the happiest man in the state of New Hampshire last night.

A week after carrying the ball 40 times, Salem High School senior running back Jason Martinez ran “just” 18 times last night. However, the end result was far better. Both for him and the team.
