Girl’s Basketball Beats St. Joseph’s in a Tight Defensive Battle

By Ellie Nelson


On February 9th, the DHS girl’s basketball team pulled out a very close win in their regular season game against St. Joseph’s in Trumbull. The final score was 54-45. The game was a largely defensive game, with strong performance from both Darien and St. Joe’s. DHS only had a 24% chance of beating the highly ranked St. Joes, so the win was a shock for everyone. The girls have three more games left of regular season before playoffs start, but with their current record of 7-9, a spot in the FCIACs isn't likely. However, the team still has some hope they can snag a spot and win the last of their regular season games. Sophomore Katie Ramsay said, “All of our recent games we have been losing in close games by only 2-3 points so I don’t think our record isn't a good show of our talent. This last win gives us confidence we can win our next games.” Check out their senior day home game against Westhill on 2/12 at 7pm.
