Windham, ME: Windham's sixth grade travel team is used to being outsized. The team is loaded with small but very talented guards, but only has a handful of big men. Even though being outsized is nothing new, and nothing that bothers this scrappy team; today's opponent was unusually tall across their roster.

With Windham down 4-0 Mitchell Delcourt (2 points) stole the ball and drove to the hoop for Windham's first two points of the game. Windham next three points would come from free throws by Ben MacDonald (2 points), Zach Petcher (5 points) and Ezra Boynton (3 points). Windham trailed 15-5 after Boynton's free throw.

Cam Hoffses (4 points) scored his first points of the game to start a Windham 5-0 run that included a free throw from Austin McGowan (1 point) and a bucket from Gavin Thibodeau (2 points) and ended with Scarborough leading 23-12 at the half.
