Girls Varsity Basketball Is Victorious Against St. Joe’s

 By Maeve Tierney

Thursday, December 20th at 7:00 pm the Blue Wave Varsity Girls Basketball team took on St. Joe’s at home.

The game started out with slight hesitation as Darien was missing one of their key players and captain, DHS Senior Meg Marren. Marren was out this game due to an injury sustained in the previous game against Ridgefield.

“But despite that, we went in really composed, and people who needed to step up in Meg's absence did, and we ended up getting a pretty good lead, and at the end nearly doubling their score,” said DHS senior captain, Kate Bushell.

The game ended with Darien on top, 48-26. The win is going to be vital to the team’s confidence as they have lost twice previously. St. Joe’s is a talented team and Darien’s victory is a sure triumph.

DHS junior, Kelly Karczewski scored 22 points and made four three-pointers. Bushell also played well. She scored eight points and got seven rebounds

“It definitely gave us a lot of confidence as a team, and I hope we keep up the momentum,” said Bushell.

The team played with a lot of determination and will hopefully use this win to continue the season successfully.

Congratulations girls, and good luck in your next game versus Greenwich on December 27th. Be sure to be there DHS, it’s at 1:00pm in the DHS Main gym.
