STAMFORD — How does a defending league champion with just one returning starter and four players familiar — one by surname — to the most fanatical FCIAC boys basketball fan open a new season defeating a pair of opponents predicted by most to finish relatively high in the standings by an average of 30 points?
“I think it’s all preparation,” said Amos Grey, the lone starter back for Ridgefield, following tonight’s 62-45 win over Westhill. “We’ve been working all offseason. What is it, 11 months since we last played a game? All of our guys are hungry. We have a great coaching staff behind us. All glory to them.”
