There's a story in today's Dayton Daily News about UConn recruit Samarie Walker's senior season when the 6-foot-1 wing has been playing with a partially torn meniscus in her right knee.

Walker has averaged 16.2 points and 9.9 rebounds in spite of the ailing knee, helping Chaminade Julienne to 14 wins in its last 15 games. The Eagles will play Oakwood on Saturday in the championship game of the Springboro Regional.

Walker's future UConn teammate Bria Hartley continued her impressive senior season when she tied for season-high with five 3-pointers and finished with 26 points, eight rebounds, six assists and seven steals to lead North Babylon to a 70-38 win over Brentwood in Thursday's Suffolk AA quarterfinal. Hartley and North Babylon will play Smithtown West on Monday at 7:30 p.m. at Farmingdale State.
