Last night (Tuesday, December 18th)
the Blue Wave Boys Basketball varsity team played their home opener against
Ridgefield, a team that is notably the best team in the state of
Connecticut. Newcomer Matt Staubi
scored a total of 14 points for the Wave to add to their 30 point total.
Unfortunately, Ridgefield was able to hold true to their title and win the game
with a total of 63 points. Notable moments of the games included the first half
where the boys were only down by 10 or 15 points at a time, winning the tip at
the beginning of the game (thanks to newcomer Chima), and the referees’
seemingly unfair calls against Darien.
This was the biggest turnout for
the first game that this team has had in a while. Many students were eager to watch the performance of the new
additions to “Wave Ball”, Henry Baldwin, Matt and Chima Staubi. The timing of
the game also allowed for many DHS alumni to attend, most home for the
holidays. Blue Wave Super Fan Taylor Cockerill said, “I thought the boys played
really well, a lot better than in the past. The younger players did a great job
and seemed to be an important part of the team. I thought we played well, but
Ridgefield has a really talented team too so it was a good game.” The next game for the basketball team is this Thursday December
20th at St. Joes.
