The Windham Middle School Varsity Football team has gotten off to a great start this season. The team is comprised of a great group of boys who have played together for the most of their school years. Coach Tony Leslie along with coach Richard Johnson have conditioned the boys to play with heart, teamwork and sportsmanship to strive in the hopes to win the gold ball this 2013 season.
The team’s roster consists of the following eighth
graders: Hunter Coffin, Nicholas Curtis, Tanner Bernier, Ezra Davison, Logan
Emerson, Tanner Grover, Cody Getchell, Nazari Henderson, Zachary Harris, Logan
Heckman, Carter Jackson, Nicholas Kilgallon, Anthony Kilgallon, Justin
Labrecque, Ryan Logue, Connor McInnis, Drew Potter, Kiante Smith, Isaiah Welch,
Dylan Varney and Arrion Willette.
The first game was home where Windham hosted the
Biddeford Tigers. The boys came onto the field ready to play and ended with a
win of 32-14. Both the defensive and offensive lines worked hard to hold the
team together and not allow the Tigers to score in the first half. Though
Windham gave up two touchdowns, Hunter Coffin and Nazari Henderson were able to
run in touchdowns of our own with the support of the front line and quarterback
Tanner Bernier to win the game.
The second game was hosted by the Thornton Academy
Trojans. The weather wasn’t cooperative and the boys struggled a little during
this game, but took home the win in overtime with a score of 12-6. The ball was
slippery and the field was wet but Hunter Coffin and Tanner Bernier were able
to make it to the end zone with the collaborative efforts of the whole team at
their backs.
The third game was home where Windham hosted the
Massabesic Mustangs. The Windham boys came ready to play after struggling in
game two, and walked away with a huge win 40-14. The defensive line lead by
Tanner Grover, Drew Potter, Justin Labrecque, Anthony Kilgallon, Logan Emerson
and Conner McInnis were strong during this game and it showed while allowing
their teammates Nazari Henderson, Nathan Watson, Tanner Bernier, Carter Jackson
and Hunter Coffin the ability to score.
The attitude and teamwork of these boys shows in their
everyday relationships on and off the field.
The Windham Eagles next middle school football game is
Saturday at 1 p.m. against South Portland at Wainwright Field.
