In the first quarter, the Mustangs gave the Eagles fits as their defense seemed to upend Windham’s tempo.  However, the Eagles continued their attack and produced an 11-4 lead at the end of the first.

In the second, Windham gained some air and seemed to control the tempo better.  They outscored the Mustangs 20 to 10 to end the half leading by 17 points.

 

In the third quarter, Windham completely dominated the game.  The Eagles scored ten points and allowed only a Mustang bucket in the final minute of play in the quarter. 

 

In the fourth, frustrations on both sides came out and the whistle seemed to blow every few seconds.  However, the Eagles and Mustangs matched each other point for point and the result ended 57-29 in favor of the Eagles.  Catch the JV squad in action at South Portland on Tuesday December 8 at 5:30pm.
