On Wednesday, February 24 the Darien Boys JV Basketball team lost by six to a strong Trumbull team on their home floor at Trumbull High School. The Wave came out slow and struggled from the field, while the Golden Eagle’s seemed to knock down any open shot they had. Even if they missed a shot, Trumbull had no problem grabbing rebounds as they towered over most of the Darien players. The Wave hung in, though, through the first half and went to the locker room down by eight points.
Defense was a strong point for the Darien team going into the second half, coming out stingy and putting pressure on the Golden Eagles offense. A couple standouts on the defensive side of the ball were sophomore Mitchell Pryor and junior Jack Richter, both players forced steals consistently throughout the second half and were a big reason for the Wave staying in the game. Jack Tierney and Andrew Darby were equally aggressive on defense, but because of this were quickly in foul trouble down the stretch. Freshman Henry Williams paced the Wave on offense putting up a solid 14 points, trying his best to will Darien to a win.
Despite all of their efforts, Darien came up short to Trumbull, losing 62-56.
