Windham Eagles boys’ varsity has started their season with a new coach and a new game play. As coach Pulkkinen learns about his team’s individual strengths and weaknesses, character and heart – the team learns to accept a new way, new ideas and embrace a new outlook.
The Eagles have played four games to
date and the teams record is 2-2. Both Deering and Cheverus games were losses
for the Eagles and they were also a good learning experience. As with any new
season the team needs to learn to work together and trust one another on the
court and believe in the coaches plays. Though this team is young with three
seniors, six juniors, six sophomores and one freshman, look for this team to
bond and become a notable team to watch.
Hosting and winning against the
Lewiston Blue Devils gave the Eagles their first win of the season and just
enough encouragement that would work in their favor to move on. Most recently
the Eagles traveled to Berwick to face the Noble Knights. The Eagles came off
the bench ready to play and owned the court in the first quarter of the game
leading 24-8.
The second quarter drew some fouls on
both sides with the Eagles still dominating and ending the first half of the
game 41-19. The Eagles found their groove early in the game and kept the
teamwork together throughout. The third quarter saw much of the same ending
with the Eagles ahead 71-35. The entire Eagles bench contributed to the
scoreboard and they walked away with their second win of the season 86-47.
The Eagles next game is against Oxford
Hills on Saturday the 19th at home. First team plays at 10 a.m., the
J.V. team will play at 11:30 a.m. and the varsity team will tip off at 1 p.m.
