The fifth-grade
boys’ basketball team traveled to Cape Elizabeth Middle School on Sunday, March
3 to take on TGK Athletics, a Saco athletic club, in their semifinal game.
Windham was coming off a close quarterfinal playoff game with Gray/New
Gloucester where Windham held them off, winning 36-34.
Windham
was aggressive right from the start. They were grabbing rebounds and for the
first few minutes of the game, the teams were evenly matched. TGK did begin to
pull away. The Eagles were moving the ball around nicely and had good offense.
They were working hard and did their best to keep the points gap close.
Half:
35-21, TGK
At the
start of the second half, Windham was ready to turn this game around. They were
quick to grab rebounds, taking shots on TGK’s basket and adding to the
scoreboard. The Eagles were moving the ball around well and giving a solid
effort. Windham was showing they were not giving up. They had good defense
keeping their hands up to block shots. They capitalized on any mistake TGK made
in the form of a turnover or jumping up to gain possession of the ball.
After a
strong effort by Windham, at the buzzer, TGK takes this game, 52-34.
“The boys played their hearts out
and left everything on the court,” said coach Pat Moody. “They only lost to one
team all season long and it was TGK. However, the season isn’t done. They have
their most important game of the year on Monday, March 11 at the Windham
Primary School at 6:30 p.m. when they take on their parents in the players vs
parents’ game.”
