Windham: Gorham’s First team handed the Lady Eagles a loss in a 31-22 event.

 

The Gorham Rams set the tone early in the game and constantly led the Eagles by eight to ten points throughout the game.  The Eagles were struggling to execute a sound 2-3 zone defense and were getting burned by the Rams.

Late in the game, the competition was halted due to an injured player.  Kylie Bangs, in her first game back since recovering from a concussion, hit the court hard after getting tangled up with a Gorham player.  Bangs was held motionless until the paramedics arrived.  After being strapped to a backboard, Bangs was lifted to the stretcher and taken to Maine Medical Center. After a few minutes of warm ups, the game continued.  However, the wind was gone from the Eagles wings as they couldn’t get the ball past the Rams defense to overcome the deficit.
