Joseph at Ridgefield, tonight: A preview of the FCIAC championship game on opening night? Perhaps. Off the bench: Tyler Ancrum, Bridgeport Central Roy Kane Jr., Norwalk Larry McKinney, Brien McMahon Alex Wolf, Greenwich Matt Staubi, Darien.ġ.

DanyJoel Harris, Danbury: An All-FCIAC West pick a year ago, the Hatters are counting on Harris to lead a team that got off to a hot start and then never recovered from a 3-7 stretch. Peter Rankowitz, Staples: Rankowitz averaged 17 points a game last season and at times he was able to put the Wreckers on his shoulders for stretches. Joseph: McKnight is in much the same position as Casimir, and the Cadets' need for him to become a go-to player should bring out the best in the talented guard.Ĥ. Casimir should be more than up to the task.ģ. Schadrac Casimir, Trinity Catholic: For the Crusaders to be successful, they will need their sharp-shooting guard to step up into a leadership role.

Chris Watts takes over a team in transition, but one with quality, led by junior guard Quincy McKnight, who is ready to step into a leadership role. Joseph: Gone is the inside-outside combination of James Jennings and Timajh Parker, not to mention Montelli. The big question is replacing graduated point guard Seth von Kuhn.Ģ. Four starters are back, led by a tall frontline headlined by 6-foot-6 Kurt Steidl and 6-4 Jeff Racy. Ridgefield: The Tigers got off to a 14-2 start a year ago, but finished 4-5 the rest of the way, losing in the FCIAC semifinals to Trinity Catholic and the Class LL quarterfinals to St. There has been tremendous turnover on the sidelines the past three years, leaving a number of programs in the hands of bright and promising young coaches who could take their teams in new directions.ġ. The secondary story this winter is five schools have new coaches. Speaking of the Cadets, change is in the air as the venerable Vito Montelli retired in the offseason, along with Jim Moriarty at Stamford. Ridgefield is the popular favorite, and deservedly so, but that designation often comes with a heavy burden.
