The Girls Basketball Team took on Norwalk last night (2/12) at Darien High School. After their Senior Day was postponed from the past Friday to Tuesday, the girls were more than ready to take on Norwalk. Each of the three seniors, Ali Aparicio, Kate Bushell, and Meg Marren, were each recognized by their coach, Katie Lauten, in a heartfelt speech. After the Star Spangled Banner was sung for the last time in their home gym for these three players, the game began. Their record was 12-5 coming into the game, and it was clear from the start that it would soon be 13-5. At halftime, the score was 27 to 7, Darien, with Meg Marren scoring her 1000 career point with just 2: 28 left in the first period, and senior Kate Bushell with the assist. Junior Emily Stein had numerous steals as her quick speed down the court led to more and more baskets. The players worked as a team and ran every play with determination and energy. A true testament to the hearts of the players was the overwhelming support for senior Meg Marren after she became the first girl to make 1000 career points. Every teammate was smiling ear to ear that they were able to help Meg make history. Meg Marren’s old basketball coach, Raquel Welsh, shared, “tonight was a goal Meg whispered to me as a sophomore when she finished the season with an even 500 points. She is an incredible player and has inspired many to believe that the impossible is possible.” Winning the game with a score of 62-4, was the perfect way for the Girls Basketball team to end their last home game. Their next game is tonight (2/14) at Stamford High School at 7 p.m.; come and show your support!
