In the previous two contests, Scarborough was able to pull away from the Windham squad and win by 10+ points in both contests. The third go around proved to be one of the most exciting games of the year, as the Windham squad gave Scarborough all they could handle. The game quickly swayed to Windham's favor as they really came out fired up, building on an impressive win vs. Gorham the previous game. Joe Francoeur scored eight of his team high and season high 18 points in the first quarter. Calvin Field, Cole Moran, Jordin Allen, Dylan Weisser, and Christian Coons along with Francoeur raced out to a 14-5 lead in the first quarter as the boys continued to play spectacular defense.

To answer that question, the boys came out with something to prove, a big chip on their shoulder, and a lot of heart.

HOLE AND GREEN SPONSORSHIP

Windham High School Boys and Girls Basketball and Windham Youth Basketball are very excited to announce our 1st annual golf scramble.

Currently there are no quality basketball courts anywhere in the town of Windham.
