Last Friday, January 16th, Darien’s JV girls basketball won a 4 vs. 4 match against Brien McMahon, improving their season. This was despite only having 5 players, resulting in the 4v4 game and extremely limited substitutions for Darien. With Darien players expected to tire out after the half, despite their lead at halftime (20-15) hopes weren’t high for a win. However, as Darien’s technical skills have increased over the season, so has the player’s endurance, particularly sophomore Megan Hobbs. There was also an improvement in penalty shots, with Darien making all but one. Prior to this game, missed penalty shots have caused a lot of lost points for the wave. Freshman Katie Ramsy, the tallest girl on the court, played exceptionally, using a lot of speed to keep her team ahead of McMahon. McMahon started strong with an unusual amount of three pointers, but lost the lead quickly and trailed Darien by a few points for the rest of the game. For the last two minutes, Darien was up by one (38-37) and managed to hold their lead until the clock ran out. Sophomore Megan Hobbs adds, “This was a really exciting game, and things really seem to be looking up for the team.”
