Ruden Sports News

Several years ago, during a trunk show at a local clothing store, I met Vivek Nagrani. We became friends, and during that time Vivek has become a nationally known men’s clothing designer. Esquire magazine said he makes the best dress socks in the world.

Included in his clothing line are very cool hoodies. I was able to get a dozen to turn into Ruden Report hoodies.

While trying to think up a good contest to award the first one, two girls lacrosse players were kind enough to mention last weekend how much they enjoy the Team of the Week votes.

This isn’t exactly the old Reese’s commercial of chocolate meeting peanut butter, but it was the impetus to put together a variance of contests held here before, The Ruden Report Hoodie Sprint. I asked each FCIAC girls lacrosse coach to submit the name of one player. The contest is simple: we will hold a vote from Sunday night at 7:30 until noon on Tuesday. The winner will own the first Ruden Report hoodie.

Based on the coaches who responded, here are the Hoodie Sprint contestants:

Sophie Butcher, Fairfield Ludlowe

Lindsey Eanniello, Danbury

Erica Ely, Ridgefield

Brianna Fitzgerald, Norwalk

Aleigh Fitzpatrick, Brien McMahon

Erin Gray, Westhill

Amelia Heisler, Staples

Carolyn Paletta, Greenwich

Bailey Pilder, New Canaan

Sarah Reilly, Fairfield Warde

Dillon Schoen, Darien

Hannah Wiltshire, Wilton

So check back Sunday night and be ready to vote as we start the Ruden Report Hoodie Sprint.
