Division 4 District Quarterfinal Bay Path girls’ basketball sets sights on next season after loss to Lions

BY OLIVIA J. CAPPOLI SPORTS CORRESPONDENT WEST BOYLSTON — If Bay Path Regional girls’ varsity basketball coach John Selen could sum up his team’s season in one word, it would be “satisfying.” “We’ve made districts two years in a row, started out winning only three games… and we’ve been building on it every single year,” he said. “We would have liked to pull out a couple more wins and maybe avoid a team like West Boylston to get a better match- up so we could have advanced a little bit more, but it’s been satisfying.” Despite a tough 57-34 first round loss in the Central Mass. Division 4 district tournament to third seeded West Boylston High last Wednesday, March 2, a sense of positivity was in Selen’s voice when talking about his team’s progress over the last two seasons. Bay Path’s program is certainly on the rise. Over the course of two seasons, the 14th ranked Minutemen have marched into districts both times, making their presence known within the Colonial Athletic League. For a coach, there is no greater feeling than being part of a team that matures each season. “It feels great, I’m really Nick Ethier photos proud of these girls,” Selen Bay Path’s Sarah Wong Kam releases a deep jump shot. Trisha Wilson of Bay Path prepares to drive into the lane. said. “I told them at our little meeting how proud I am of them, how proud I am of senior Gina Houghton.” When talking about Houghton — Bay Path’s lone senior — Selen emphasized how much her absence will be missed next year and said that she’s been the “foundation” of what Bay Path has done thus far. These days, having a player like that is special for a coach. “She’s been on varsity four years,” Selen said. “Her leaving is going to be a great loss. Our team and who we are is as much Gina’s responsibility than mine as a coach.” Houghton racked up a team-high 11 points for the Minutemen versus West Boylston, while teammates Kayla Morrison and junior Sarah Wong Kam registered a combined 13 additional points. With the absence of Houghton next season, Bay Path knows that they have to work even more as a team in order to reach districts again and rack up district tournament victories. “We’ve got to improve our post play and we’ve got to improve our rebounding,” Selen emphasized. “If you watch us out there, we don’t Bryanna Waskiewicz of Bay Path looks for open room to dribble the ball. do a great job of controlling the boards.
