Windham hosted the Bonny Eagle Scots Tuesday evening and
fans from both sides filled the bleachers as the two teams tipped off. Both the
Eagles and the Scots have new varsity coaches on their respective benches, each
one driving their teams to victory; Chad Pulkkinen for the Eagles and Mike
Francouer for the Scots.
Eagles senior Kyle Kilfoil won the tip off to begin the
game. The rivalry between Bonny Eagle and Windham extended to the basketball
court as the games momentum only picked up as the clocked counted down. What
began as fast paced game continued throughout the first half, which ended with
the Eagles ahead 27-22. 
Mike Gilman finished with a game-high 21 points for the
Eagles – six of these being 3-point shots along with Nick Curtis adding 16
points to the board as they pulled away from the Scots in the second half to
clench the win. In addition, with these baskets what stood out for the Eagles
was their defense on the court. Zach Petcher pulled down seven rebounds for
Windham along with putting up his own four points. Hunter Coffin took three
charges and was able to stop Bonny Eagles leading scorer in the second half of
the game, allowing him to only score one point. The efforts of the team both
offensively and defensively stood out during this game and made the end result
a win for the Eagles.
