Windham High girls basketball coach Ken Valliere was pretty funny Friday night.
Normally, when a coach calls in his scores, it's pretty standard. "We won, here's the score, here's how it happened" sort of thing.
Valliere was rather ecstatic when he delivered his message of the Whippets 61-60 win over Montville.
"I'm sitting here, watching the tape to see how we won this thing," Valliere said.
How?
The Whippets apparently just got hot at the right time, with 4 1/2 minutes to play (or when most NBA teams finally decide they should play the game they've been missing all night long).
Amie Toner scored 17 points for the Whippets Friday night, 13 of those in the final quarter. Vanessa Bosques had 15 points, 10 came in the final quarter and six of those were on two big 3-pointers.
The Whippets made it exciting against a good Montville team Friday night and their next outing will be just as tough. 10-1 NFA comes in to play 10-1 Windham on Monday afternoon, Martin Luther King Day, at 5 p.m in Willimantic.
