In addition to being one of the most intriguing storylines of the 2023 high school football season, coach Wayne Hutchinson’s return to Stamford was a rousing success.
Inheriting a talented, junior-led roster, the veteran coach led the Bulldogs to a 9-2 record and a trip to the Region I-2A area round, where they saw their season end with a competitive loss to perennial power Stratford.
With 24 lettermen back from that squad, including eight offensive and seven defensive starters, the now-senior heavy Bulldogs are expecting even bigger things in 2024. And after watching his athletic program close a successful first school year with strong showings on the track and baseball field, Hutchinson isn’t shying away from comparisons to some of the best Stamford groups he’s coached.
