After a long list of memorable accomplishments over the past two months, starting on Sunday morning it is time for you to decide who was the very best of the best. We have selected six outstanding male and 13 female finalists for the Ruden Report-Fairfield County Bank FCIAC Fall Male and Female Player of the Year awards.

With several schools having more than one deserving athlete, we are going to experiment this fall and have two finalists from several schools.

The winners will receive special custom-made T shirts with the players’ names and uniform numbers on the back.

There will be a separate vote for a Football Player of the Year at the end of the season.
