The
Unified basketball team played their final home game of the season on Tuesday,
February 26 against Bonny Eagle. It was senior night. The seniors and their
parents were thanked for all their hard work over the student’s high school
sports careers.
Windham
was off to a strong start, scoring almost immediately. Windham had good offense
and defense, with players quick to grab rebounds and turn around and score. The
Eagles had a slight lead, but Bonny Eagle was not far behind.
Half:
30-26, Windham
The
second half was an exciting one. Windham was maintaining their lead nicely, but
Bonny Eagle was not far behind. Shortly into the second half, the game was tied
at 38. Windham had good offense and defense, capitalizing on rebound
opportunities. It was a tie game with 26 seconds remaining. The buzzer goes off
and game goes into overtime!
The
energy was incredibly high in the gymnasium. Windham had good defense keeping
Bonny Eagle from scoring too much. The score was tied at 60 with the clock
winding down. Then, with seconds remaining, senior Erin Elder puts the ball up
just in time...Eagles win!
