Last year’s B
Squad remembered the defeat at Scarborough
and avenged the loss by defeating
Scarborough 27-0. Windham started the
victory by winning the opening toss and
elected to receive the opening kick.
They quickly
demonstrated their powerful running game by
having Damien Shepard
(AOW) run for a thirty five
yard touchdown on the third play of the
possession.
Shawn Francoeur added the point
after, he would end the day three for four
in point after attempts.

Windham’s
defense proved stingy and Scarborough was
forced to punt.

Windham again
took control and Shepard
(AOW) recorded another
six points by rushing for 53 yards. Shepard
racked up 196 yards on the day and would
have had over 250 had a roughing the kicker
penalty not been called nullifying a 60 plus
punt return and touchdown.

Windham only
had two penalties during the game.
Windham’s
offense continued to dominate in the first
half. The combination of Christian Coons
and
Colby Waterhouse set up the third
Windham touchdown.
Colby Waterhouse took a
handoff from quarterback
Calvin Field and
scampered for an eighteen yard touchdown.

Windham would
finish its scoring with a Christian Coons
one yard bull run.
Due to new
rules this year, Windham had to modify its
plays and player rotation after taking the
lead by twenty points. That meant no
outside running plays and some different
players subbing in.
Windham’s
offense tried to put points on the board in
the second half, but to no avail.
Handicapped as they were, the defense still
stifled the Scarborough offense.
Late in the
third quarter, a Scarborough player went
down with a neck injury. That delayed the
game for about thirty minutes. The player
was transported to a local hospital to be
examined. Based on local accounts, he
seemed to be in ok shape, but the
precautionary steps were taken to ensure his
well being. The game ended as the first
half ended, with Windham leading 27-0.
Catch the MS Eagle squad next
week in
Wells for a 1:00PM game on
Saturday. Things are shaping up for another
stellar year for this talented squad.
COMMENTS:
I feel it is
great the windham backs are doing so well
this year, but it seems that they get alot
of credit for the work they do , this would
not be possible with out the help of the
interior tackles and guards, im not saying
what they do is not incredible because it is
im just saying people such as Shawn
Francoeur, Tyler Pennanen, Jared Libby..
etc. should get more credit and be honered
for their work up front. great job so far
windham,, keep it up!!
