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.

That 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: the vote will be held 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; and Hannah Wiltshire, Wilton.

So vote and check back Tuesday at noon to find out the winner of The Ruden Report Hoodie Sprint.
