With the deepest pool of strong candidates to choose from thus far, Fairfield Ludlowe girls basketball player Sam Hickey and Tyler Rich of the Westhill hockey team have been named co-winners of the BlueStreak-Overtime FCIAC Player of the Week award.
Hickey and Rich will each receive plaques and T-shirts from BlueStreak.
Hickey, the first female winner, finished with 18 points and a school-record 25 rebounds for the Falcons in a 55-50 win over town rival Fairfield Warde at the Todd Burger Holiday Tournament.
Rich, a senior captain, had four goals and an assist to lead an 8-4 win over intracity rival Stamford, then added a goal and an assist in a 2-0 victory over Milford.
Nominations for next week’s award will be accepted starting at noon today and run until noon next Tuesday.
Here again are the instructions for nominating an athlete.
