Like many coaches, Windham Middle School field hockey coach and seventh-grade English and Language Arts teacher Emily Grudzien began playing sports at a young age, but it wasn’t until she tried field hockey that she felt she really succeeded in a sport. It was a way for her to grow her confidence in middle and high school and feel like she was part of something outside her social circle.

Last month, the Windham varsity basketball team opened its fall basketball schedule in preparation for the upcoming season and on Sunday, Oct. 29 at XL Sports World in Saco, the squad took on Falmouth and Edward Little. Windham fell, 73-48, to Falmouth but turned it around in a much closer game against Edward Little. While Windham had the lead for most of the game, Edward Little pulled away in the end to win, 51-45.

In an impressive defensive battle, top-ranked Windham went toe-to-toe with fourth-ranked Portland in the boys’ varsity soccer semifinal round at Windham High School on Thursday, Nov. 2. In the end, it came down to a second round of penalty kicks where Portland outscored Windham and left the field with a 1-0 victory. Windham ended the season with a record of 14-1-1.

In the final game of the regular varsity football season, Windham varsity football put forth a strong effort for four quarters, but fell to Bonny Eagle, 35-21 in Standish on Tuesday, Oct. 31.

Third-ranked Windham traveled to meet second-ranked Gorham on Thursday, Nov. 2 for a repeat varsity girls’ soccer semifinal match similar to the one these two teams played a year ago with one exception, the Lady Eagles made it a lot harder for Gorham this time. Windham forced two sudden-death overtimes and after regulation play ended, it was tied at 1-1. Once it went to penalty kicks, Gorham eked out a 2-1 win.

After the Windham varsity girls’ soccer team beat Cheverus 2-0, last month, the team returned to the pitch to take on Portland on Saturday, Sept. 9 at home, and their winning ways continued as they hammered the Bulldogs, 6-0.

Windham High’s varsity boys’ soccer team remained undefeated as they rolled past Gorham with a massive 4-1 victory at home on Thursday, Sept. 7. The Eagles continued to progress as an in-sync team that plays for each other and leaves it all on the field.

Windham High Field Hockey coach Cory DiDonato has lofty expectations for her team entering the 2023 season thanks to a solid core group of returning players and some promising new talent added to the squad.

One of the greatest golfers of all time, Jack Nicklaus, believed that confidence is the most important factor in the game of golf, and he said no matter how great your natural talent is, there is only one way to obtain golfing success, and that is to work at it. Entering this new season, members of the Windham High School coed varsity golf team have been getting ready to showcase their skills and make a serious run at distinguishing themselves out on the links in 2023.

There’s something to be said for experience and especially when it comes to prep football. It can make the difference between making costly penalties and choosing the right route for receivers to exploit down the field. Entering the 2023 varsity season, the Windham High School varsity football squad will rely heavily on its experience to take them to another level on the gridiron.
