Wave Rolls With Dominating Defense Wave Rolls With Dominating Defense Wave Rolls With Dominating Defense
Wave Rolls With Dominating Defense Darien's defense had something to prove Tuesday night after last week's loss to New Canaan, 42-14, on Thanksgiving Day. The Blue Wave made an emphatic statement against fourth-seeded Wethersfield, stifling the Eagles at every turn en route to an easy 31-7 victory in the first round of the Class L football tournament at Joseph Cottone Field. "We wanted to come out and show what we could do,'' said senior Jake Weil, whose safety in the second quarter set the tone for the evening. "We couldn't wait to come back out and show people what our defense was all about. Even in practice, we were crisp.…

Tennis Experience is a Net Gain Tennis Experience is a Net Gain Tennis Experience is a Net Gain
Tennis Experience is a Net Gain Rebecca Link figured her week in the Nick Bolletieri Academy would be hard. Even though she was braced for the intensity, the 12-year-old Ponus Ridge seventh-grader and Slammer Tennis World student was surprised by the physical demands. "I was so sore after the first day,'' Rebecca said. "They told me by Thursday I'd be feeling better, and they were right. I was so happy." Marvin Tyler, Link's coach at Slammer Tennis World, surprised Rebecca with a visit early in the camp. "My player's sitting there with two ice packs on her knees,'' Marvin said.

Darien's Defense Faces Challenge For Darien's football team to charge through the Class L football playoffs, the Blue Wave defense must play a key role. Fifth-seeded Darien (10-1) will travel to play No. 4 Wethersfield at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Wethersfield. The Eagles (9-1) are averaging 33.1 points per game this season.
