FCIAC Girls Basketball Preseason Poll: TRUMBULL is No. 1

 The first FSN FCIAC Girls Basketball Coaches Poll is here! We polled 12 coaches (Invitations were sent out to all 17 in the league) to get their pre-season predictions for the year.

The result? Trumbull is headed for another champioonship.

All but one coach voted the Eagles as the top team in the league for the 2021 season, with Ludlowe earning one vote for first place.

As expected, the rest of the field is as varied as the teams themselves, likely foreshadowing a tight race for the top 8 seeds this season.

Many have predicted a very balanced and unpredictable league this season, and that seems to be fairly obvious based on our preseason poll.

We plan to do this poll at least twice more during the regular season, and potentially at the end of the season as well, so we can track each team´s progress during the year.

All in all, the goal this year is to have fun above all else. Enjoy the season while it lasts and hopefully we get to see some great competition starting next week.
