Jack Plesser Tops Off Amazing Career with FCIAC Player of the Year Award

In his latest and most noteworthy accolade, long-time Fierce player and Fairfield Warde's Jack Plesser has won the award for FCIAC Player of the Year. This highly coveted award is only given to one player each season. It is amazing to see how far Jack has come. Jack was passed on by another local program in 6th grade, only to become the perfect fit from the start with Fierce. Jack has always had the right attitude and work ethic to keep improving, and each year that went by he became a more competitive basketball player in the area. This honor is the pinnacle of all of that dedication, and the gateway to his next chaper as a collegiate student athlete. Congratulations Jack, we are proud to have watched you grow and receive this well-deserved recognition.
