Windham's boys basketball team had its work cut out for it yesterday, facing No. 1 seed Hanover in the Division 2 tournament, but the 16th-seed Jaguars gave a good account of themselves. After falling behind 20-6 in the first quarter, Windham matched Hanover point for point in a 59-45 setback. Joe Lorenz and and Andrew Lowman both had 13 points for Windham.

Youth was served in Windham's 58-46 victory over Plymouth. Sophomores Andrew Lowman (game-high 19 points and 9 rebounds) and Jeff Peterson (14 points and 8 boards) stepped up big for the Jaguars as did freshman David Carbonello, who ran the offense well in his first start at point guard.

Strong defense from Alex Newton (career-high 11 points) and Brian Finney helped Pelham subdue Windham's offense in a 53-42 victory. Sophomore Jeff Peterson kept the Jaguars competitive in defeat with a fierce effort on the boards and a game-high 18 points.

With its two seniors out of the lineup, Windham went deep for a 64-52 victory over Coe-Brown. Cementing his role after splitting time with the JV squad, sophomore Tucker Lippold (11 points) hit three second-quarter 3-pointers to help the Jaguars break things open. Classmates Andrew Lowman and Jeff Peterson owned the backboards for Windham.

Jeff Peterson netted a career-high 19 points to lead Windham 56-50 over Bishop Brady in boys basketball. 

Andrew Lowman completed a three-point play with 1:30 left and David Carbonello converted two foul shots with 51 seconds remaining to lead Windham to a 57-55 win over John Stark.

Erik Nystrom's rebounding and Derek DeFranzo's free throw shooting combined to earn Pelham a 50-44 victory over Windham. Nystrom pulled down seven clutch offensive boards in the final four minutes to give the Pythons extra opportunities. DeFranzo — a "beast with the ball" according to Python head coach Matt Regan — hit on 14 of 16 free throws in an 18-point night. Windham used strong team defense and a couple of key charges drawn by Connor Redmond to stay close.
