It looked like Bedford would be knocked out of the No. 1 spot in this week’s New Hampshire Top 10 girls basketball rankings, but the Bulldogs overcame a nine-point deficit with four minutes to play and beat Londonderry, 60-53, in a game between unbeaten teams Friday night.

Bedford, which scored the game’s final 16 points, stretched the program’s winning streak to 39 games. The Bulldogs completed the regular season with an 18-0 record and will be the No. 1 seed for the Division I tournament. 

One new team entered this week’s rankings as Oyster River dropped out of the Top 10 following a 60-55 loss to Derryfield on Friday night.

Team records are through games played Feb. 23.
