Wave Lose Nail-Biter in Home Opener

by Brad Magnusson

The DHS Boys Basketball Team lost to the Fairfield Ludlowe Falcons this past Friday night in their highly anticipated home opener. The team came out strong and held a promising 28-20 lead at halftime but couldn’t hold on in the second half.

The Wave struggled from the free throw line and missed a few opportunities to run away from the Falcons after clawing back from a 6-point deficit in the fourth quarter. Senior Matt Staubi led all scorers with 18 and was accompanied by senior center Chima Azuonwu, who got yet another double-double in an impressive performance. Look for the Blue Wave to rebound from two early-season losses and repeat as champions in the annual La Vista Tournament.
Darien plays again next Friday at home against Staples at 3pm.
