They were thought of as the underdog. However, the
Windham girls basketball team proved they were not going to be left behind
and/or forgotten. Windham defeated Falmouth to move on to the quarterfinals in
overtime winning 51-46.
The Windham fans came out to watch their Lady Eagles face
the Gorham Rams Monday afternoon for the quarterfinal matchup. Windham had lost
earlier in the season to the Rams, but put in a great show of effort to prove
they were in contingent to move forward. Gorham took the lead in the game, but
the team kept the pace with the Rams for most of the first half of the game
Monday until the final minute and half of the first half. The Ram also known as
Abby Hamilton, made several 3-pointers to start a 12-0 run and the Rams pulled
ahead with a 15-point halftime lead.
Windham did a great job with stopping Emily Esposito from
getting the ball, Gorham’s Abby Hamilton stepped up for the team and was able
to walk away with 24 points to her name. 
Sadie Nelson led the Windham Eagles with 14 points along
with Ciera Berthiaume and Macy Mannette with 6 points each.
“Too much of Hamilton and Esposito overall,” said Windham
Coach Brody Artes. “It’s very difficult when you have two players that are very
good and very versatile to defend them.”
The final score of the quarterfinal game was Windham 36
Gorham 62.
