The Wave could not handle the top-seeded Ridgefield Tigers on Monday night. (1/24) The boys had a 68-43 loss at home. The Tigers, with a surprising 9-1 record, have emerged as one of the top teams in the FCIAC with a signature 1-3-1 defense. This strong point helped hold the Blue Wave to 13 points in the first half. While Darien held its own behind senior captain point guard Chris Allam and senior center Charlie Kunze by keeping the Tigers to only 28 points at half, Ridgefield was too much for the Wave. While the game was always within reach for the Darien, the Tigers never let them get on a streak. The Wave received contribution form freshman Bobby Fitzpatrick and sophomore Liam Naughton. Darien now has a record of 1-10 going into tonight's (1/25) game against the struggling Greenwich Cardinals with the same record. The game starts at 7pm at Greenwich High School.

Does the headline always have to contain a reference to losses? Our team plays hard and needs support; the score doesn't always tell the whole story of the game. We have a lot of energy and youth on the team, dwelling on the negative perpetuates the stigma that we can't "compete" in this sport...but we can compete and we will! STEP UP AND PLAY FOR YOUR SCHOOL
