Girls’ Basketball Heads to State Tourney


By: Katherine Minion-

After a close away game against Staples High School on Wednesday night (1/19), Darien Girls’ Varsity Basketball walked away with a 46-35 victory, which puts them in the state tournament. Although the team had a rough start on offense in the first half, the girls stepped it up in the second half, racking up points. The team maintained a strong defense throughout the game. Senior Nicole Buch had 12 rebounds, and sophomore Meg Marren came back from an injury with a great performance. Sophomore Vanessa Budd also had a great shwoing, knocking down several shots. “Everyone played well and it was a team effort,” senior captain Julia Boulton said. Be sure to come cheer on the team at an away game against Ridgefield High School at 7pm on Friday. (1/21)
