The
8th Grade Boys suffered their first loss of the
season against Cape Elizabeth 40-33.
The
Cape squad outnumbered Windham 12-7. They used
their numbers and height in battling the Eagles.
Windham led for most of the first half but Cape’s
tall squad evened it up to close the half at 19.

The
tall squad came out to start the second half and
wasted little time in putting points on the board.
Windham seemed to shoot wildly and couldn’t rebound
given the height disadvantage. As luck would have
it, Windham’s Brad Carpentier quickly rang up four
fouls and was pulled from the game with four minutes
left as Windham started a run to narrow Cape’s lead.
Cape’s subs came in and Windham took advantage.
Short lived, the tall squad again came in and
stifled the come back. Cape keyed on number 00 who
loomed large under the hoop and in one play had
three rebounds and three shots before finally
putting the ball through the net.

There was little Windham could do to stop the height
advantage and the game ended 40-33. Jake Perry led
the Windham squad with 7 points. Isaac Gurney and
Jordin Allen followed with 6 and Dylan Weisser,
Calvin Field and Spencer Noel each had four
apiece.
Catch the Eagles next Sunday at 10:05 in Yarmouth as
they square off against Lake Region.
