Wave Drop Two and Fall to .500
-By: Christian Panier-
A rough start to February for girls’ basketball who lost two games last week. The first was a 43-46 loss to number-one seed St. Joe’s on Feb. 2 followed by a 53-58 loss to Brien McMahon on Feb 5. With these two losses, the team drops to 7-7, tenth in the FCIAC, which means the Blue Wave will still make it to the playoffs. Three other teams in addition to Darien arefighting for the last FCIAC spots: Danbury, Brien McMahon, and Trumbull. In order for Darien to win, they will need to take care of the ball and capitalize on easy baskets. Good news for the Wave, junior Julia Boulton returns to the line-up this week after being out with three broken toes (the three middle ones). This coming week, the girls will play Bridgeport Central on Tuesday (2/9) at 7pm and again on Friday (2/12) at 7pm against Fairfield Warde. Both games are at home and Friday is Senior Night. Bridgeport Central and Fairfield Warde are tied for the 11th seed in the FCIAC.

Who Dat?
-By: Sam Nelson-
For the first time ever, the Saints are known as World Champions. The New Orleans Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 on Sunday. (2/8) The first half of the game was not great for the Saints, as they went down 10-0 fast. Colts quarterback Peyton Manning threw a 19- yard touchdown to Pierre Garcon for the early lead. At the end of the half, the Saints were in a 10-6 hole at the half, but then the Saints Drew Brees showed why he was one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. At the beginning of the second half, the Saints tried a risky move by doing an on-side kick, and were fortunate to land it. The Saints then went on to score a touchdown and take the 13-10 lead. The Colts then engineered a 10 play 76 yard drive to take the lead back at 17-13. There was no looking back for the Saints. They scored 18 unanswered points going up 31-17 which would be the final score. The big play of the game was the only turnover, an interception thrown by Peyton Manning. Defensive back Tracy Porter(pictured w/ ball) of the Saints returned the touchdown 74 yards to seal the game. Drew Brees had an unbelievable game, going 32-39 with 288 yards and two touchdowns. No surprise, Brees was named with Super Bowl MVP.

T'Wolves Get First Win of the Season in Finale
The Timberwolves, with the league’s worst defense, (allowing 49.7 ppg) won their first game of the season in a finale against the league’s best offense, the Bulls (45.3 ppg). The Timberwolves, down 22-16 at halftime, came back and scored 28 points in the second half to win 44-43. For the second straight game, the Bulls missed a last second shot in the final seconds, falling to 5-2. With the score at 44-43, Bulls’ junior Tyler Pruden was fouled with 2.0 seconds left, and made his first foul shot. However, he missed his second and the Timberwolves got the rebound but lost the ball with 0.1 seconds remaining. The Bulls had a chance on the inbound with 0.1 seconds left, but Tyler Pruden missed the last second tip in, giving the Timberwolves their first win of the season.
The game started off as expected, with the Bulls lead by senior Stevenson Bone jumping out to an early lead, and they lead 22-11 at one point in the first half. However, the Timberwolves stayed in the game with key baskets from junior Mason Barron and senior Sean Gill, who scored six points apiece in the first half.
After halftime, the Timberwolves league leading scorer junior Graham Hotchkiss caught fire, drawing oohs and aahs from the crowd, using his full arsenal of scoring weapons from lay-ups to mid range jump-shots to three-points shots, seeming to be unable to miss. Hotchkiss and senior point guard Reilly Harmer lead the Timberwolves to a 44-37 lead with just four minutes left on the clock. However, the Bulls were rejuvenated by a three- point play by Stevenson Bone, and caught up to make the score 44-43… only to have the Timberwolves hold on to win. Stevenson Bone led the Bulls with 15 points, and junior Tommy Farren backed him up with a solid 10-point game. Graham Hotchkiss led the Timberwolves with 21 points, while Reilly Harmer, Sean Gill, and Mason Barron all finished with six points a piece.
Graham Hotchkiss and the #8 Timberwolves (37.6 ppg) will take on senior George Benitez and the #1 Lakers (41.1 ppg) in the first round of the playoffs, which begin today. (2/8) The two best offensive teams will clash as Stevenson Bone and the #2 Bulls (45.0 ppg) will take on senior Charlie Taylor and the #7 Celtics. (46.3 ppg)

-By Christian Nielsen-
Darien boys ice hockey lost for a second time this season against New Canaan at Darien Ice Rink on Wednesday. (2/3) With the Wave playing solid the first period, the only goal scored was by New Canaan at just over three minutes remaining. Going into the second period the Wave’s hopes were high, but thoughts of victory were quickly diminishing after New Canaan struck again five minutes into the second. Not 15 seconds later, the Rams scored once more, further distancing Darien from a chance of victory. The Rams got their last goal to seal the deal with 22 seconds remaining on a power play with a final score of 4-0. The Wave falls to 5-9 CIAC and 3-3 FCIAC, they hope to better their record when they face Westhill at 6:30pm at home on Saturday. (2/5)

Lakers The Lone Undefeated Team
-By: Sean Gill-
The Lakers came out on top against the Bulls with a thrilling 30-28 win in a highly anticipated clash between the only two undefeated House basketball teams. It was a battle between the league’s best offense (Bulls 48.8 ppg) and the league’s best defense (Lakers 31.6 ppg) on Sunday. (1/31) Bulls star junior Tyler Pruden led the Bulls to an early lead with strong inside play, but it was the Lakers’ defense that kept them in the game, as they only scored a single point in the first 10 minutes of the game, and went down 17-7 at halftime. After halftime, Senior George Benitez took over on offense for the Lakers, going on a scoring tear that got the Lakers ahead of the Bulls 28-27 with three minutes left. For the next three minutes, the Lakers played shut down defense, limiting the Bulls to only one point, and watched a last second shot miss for the Bulls. Benitez was the leading scorer in the game, scoring 20 of the Lakers’ 30 points. The final games of the season will be held at the MMS Gym on Feb 7. Watch George Benitez and the Lakers try to cap off a perfect season in their season finale against Max Reyes and the Bobcats at 5 pm, and Tyler Pruden and the Bulls try to finish the season on a good note against league-leading scorer Graham Hotchkiss and the winless Timberwolves at 3 pm.
