AUSTIN DARROW<\/p><\/div>\n

Austin Darrow is one of two seniors on the Blue Ridge Varsity Basketball team. He is the Independent\u2019s Student Athlete of the Week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve been playing basketball since I was in 1st grade, and I started playing because all my friends played so I figured I’d try it out,\u201d Darrow said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing I like about basketball is well, of course, scoring, who doesn’t like scoring?\u201d he said. \u201cI love the feeling when a teammate makes a big play and all the momentum shifts to your side and everything just starts to click on both sides of the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a first year varsity player on the Raiders\u2019 team last year, Darrow was a little anxious when the season started. \u201cWe had just graduated a ton of seniors and for me, as a junior, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect on the varsity level, but as the season progressed we got a lot better and I personally learned a lot of new things about the game. Last year, although we didn’t win a lot of games, was a great year for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a team leader, his confidence has grown and so have his expectations. \u201cI have high expectations for my team and me this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last season, Darrow was named as a First Team All-Star in the Susquehanna County Christmas Basketball Tournament and is looking forward to repeating the honor at the tournament, which will be held at Montrose High School, Dec. 26-27.<\/p>\n

In addition to basketball, Darrow also played football on the combined Susquehanna-Blue Ridge team for the past two years and enjoyed the success that team had throughout the season and in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Away from sports Darrow spends his time going to school, playing basketball, hanging out with his friends, and doing his homework. He plans to go to college to study accounting.<\/p>\n

He lives in Great Bend with his mother, Barbara Darrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
