Aiden Walter, a 6-foot-1 guard, has had an impressive season for the Lowell High Red Raiders after transferring from Monty Tech in Fitchburg. Walter is averaging 25 points per game and recently reached the 1,000-career point milestone between the two programs. He has made a smooth transition from Central Mass. to the Merrimack Valley Conference, helping to fill the scoring void left by the injury to teammate Collin Christiansen.

Why it matters

Walter's performance this season has been crucial for the Lowell High basketball team, which lost a significant portion of its scoring from last year. His ability to score in a variety of ways has made him a valuable asset, and his leadership has helped the team overcome a midseason slump and position themselves for a deep run in the Division 1 state tournament.

The details

Walter, who moved from Bedford to Lowell in fourth grade, started playing basketball at the local Boys and Girls Club and has since developed into an elite scorer. He was named MVP of the Westford Christmas Tournament and made the All-Tournament team at the Lexington Invitational. Walter has had several big games, including a 30-point performance with a game-winning three-pointer against Georgetown, the defending Division 4 state champions.

  • Walter reached 1,000 career points between Monty Tech and Lowell High.
  • Walter scored his 1,000th career point in Lowell's 65-43 win over Chelmsford last week.

What they’re saying

“Especially with Collin (Christiansen) being out with a football injury for most of the year, Aiden has made an enormous impact on our program. He can score in all three levels (attacking the rim, mid-range jumpers and three-pointers), and he can get you a basket at any time. He's had a couple of 30-point games. Offensively, he's had a very big impact on our program. We lost like 80 percent of our scoring from last year, so he's been a very welcome addition.”

— Bobby Michalczyk, Lowell High head coach

“(Reaching the milestone) meant a lot and showed all the hard work that I have put in over the years. I worked so hard to get to this point. I'm proud of myself for reaching 1,000 points, but I know I need to keep working as hard as I can.”

— Aiden Walter

What’s next

Lowell High is waiting to find out its first-round opponent in the Division 1 state tournament, where the team hopes to make a deep run with Walter leading the way.

The takeaway

Aiden Walter's impressive season at Lowell High, including reaching the 1,000-point milestone, showcases his offensive talent and ability to elevate the team after transferring from Monty Tech. His scoring prowess and leadership have been crucial for the Red Raiders as they look to make a postseason push.
