On a crisp fall day the Windham Middle school football team (8-0) laid their undefeated record on the line against Bonny Eagle (4-4).

Coach Coons was pleased with the discipline his teams showed, "I was most impressed at the fact we only had three penalties in the A game and one in the B game."

A GAME

The Eagles closed out an undefeated regular season with a 25-12 win over the Scots in Windham. Quarterback Colby Waterhouse found Damien Shepard deep on two occasions that ended in touchdowns.

Damien Shepard ended the game with 81 yards receiving and 38 yards on the ground. Colby Waterhouse threw for 81 yards and rushed for 53 and a touchdown.

While finishing the season undefeated is a great accomplishment, Coach Coons stated, "As a coach I don't base the success of the season just on wins and losses but on the fact that ALL of the players are improving as the season progresses."

B GAME

The Eagles closed out their season with a 22-0 rout of Bonny Eagle on the legs of Josiah Purves who tore it up for three touchdowns and 146 yards behind the blocks of his brother Gabe.

Coach Coons stated, "I am so proud of my kids. They have given their all since July 30th. Each of them have worked very hard to attain the goals that were set for them early on."

Windham enters the playoffs as the #1 seed and will face off against eighth seeded Wells. in Windham. The winner of this game moves on to face the winner of the game between fourth seeded Noble and fifth seeded Bonny Eagle.

Coach Coons said, "Finishing the season 8-0 was a great accomplishment, but the hard part comes now when you are going to be playing teams for the second time."
