Winchendon Wins!!!

The Winchendon School's Men's Varsity Basketball Team and over half of the student body and faculty traveled to Endicott College today and came away with a big win over a strong Worcester Academy team. Winchendon went up early but Worcester battled back to keep the game close through the second half. Both teams played hard to the end, but Winchendon held onto the lead and came away with a 74-67 win and a seat in the NEPSAC semi-finals. It will be back to Endicot on Friday night for a game against South Kent, with whom we have won and lost one so far this year.

It wasn't just a big day for the hoop players as the whole community rallied to support the team. Even those who didn't make the trip to Endicott put up with an upside down schedule for the day as we had a study session in the morning and then came back and did classes and conference in the late afternoon.

For those who went to the game, it was a lot of great basketball and loud cheering. Winch's school spirit was out in force. Many stood and shouted from the first shot through the last bucket.
With the great time had by all, it might have been easy to forget that it is exam week. But many studied on the way to and from the game, and a number even found time during half time to review their note cards.
Members of the Women's Hockey Team put on their Winch faces for the day.

I encourage any one who can to come out for the game on Friday night. It will certainly be good basketball, and I know that the guys will welcome your support. I will also work to put up some additional pictures as I can get my hands/flashdrive on them!
