TRUMBULL — For 20 games over the past two months, the Ridgefield girls basketball team worked on developing an identity, with new players, a new coach and a new system.
The past five days served as an end-of-semester exam for the Tigers, and boy did they ace it.
In a grinding game with repeated swings and momentum changes, Ridgefield completed the sizable of taking down the top three seeds, finishing with a 50-46 double overtime win tonight over No. 1 Staples for its first FCIAC title since 2015 and fourth over all.
