Windham High School fall sports teams have enjoyed a lot of success this year so far. Most teams have experienced a state tournament or playoffs. Even more impressive than the winning records of the teams, and postseason play, are the awards they are racking up in recognition of their efforts. Five Eagle teams have won Maine Principal's Association (MPA) Sportsmanship banners. An incredible number for one school, in one season.
“MPA sportsmanship banners are something that I take very
seriously. It's a reflection of that particular team, our school and
communities. We want to have competitive teams and are enjoying much
success, but handling ourselves in a classy and appropriate manner is an
expectation of all adults and athletes,” said Windham’s athletic director Rich
Drummond, who couldn’t be more proud of the teams and coaches.
Each school casts sportsmanship votes to the MPA for
their first, second and third choice schools. These votes help to determine who
is chosen as the winner of the sportsmanship banner in that given sport.
This year sportsmanship winners from Windham are: Girls
and boys cross country under the direction of Jeff Riddle, field hockey coached
by Melissa Dubois, Volleyball coached by Chris Cloutier, and the Golf team
coached by Adam Manzo.
"To win one banner in any school year is an accomplishment,
but to win five in one season is unheard of. It's a true reflection of
our coaches, kids and families," Drummond said.
